Janet Rhodes
Chief Operating Officer
Janet has held senior executive roles since 2005. She joined the executive team in April 2021, and has been instrumental in harmonising Mercy Community’s expanding Aged Care Services stream throughout Queensland.
From 2005 to 2010, Janet worked in the United Kingdom as a senior public health manager across primary and secondary care. She is a registered nurse and holds a Master of Science in Nursing Health Research and Policy, a Bachelor of Science (BSc) Hons Health Studies and BSc Hons Community Practitioner and Public Health.
Since coming to Australia in 2010, Janet has worked for not-for-profit and faith-based organisations. She has also had experience working in an advisory and consulting capacity for compliance management.
With a background in nursing, Janet has a strong foundation of practical and operational knowledge, which is now complemented by a wealth of strategic experience across primary and secondary care including retirement living, residential care, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and community.
“I am passionate about quality of care and equity of service,” Janet said.
“I believe aged care is a relationship industry and relationships matter. It is a service built on successful relationships and partnerships.
“I believe services built on relationships deliver a quality, meaningful journey for each individual resident and client… a quality care journey that can be delivered sustainably within the current financial constraints of aged care.”
