Melinda Burgess is the new chief executive at Goulburn Options. Ms Burgess is replacing Rosey Panelli who she networked with before Ms Panelli passed away earlier this year. Having worked extensively across aged care, disability, and case management, Ms Burgess saw there was a great need for skills in the industry and opened her own registered training organisation in 1999. Having her own business further improved her leadership and management skills, which became essential to her appointment as chief executive at Menzies Support Service in Alexandra in 2017. Ms Burgess said she was excited to be starting at Goulburn Options and was keen to build on Ms Panelli’s legacy.
