Resignation of Aged Care Qld CEO
Aged Care Queensland (ACQ) chief executive officer (CEO), Allan Pidgeon, has announced he is resigning to return to his family business – Queensland property developer FA Pidegon and Son.
The news follows the resignation of Aged and Community Services NSW & ACT CEO, Stephen Lowndes.
Mr Pidgeon was appointed to the position at ACQ in early 2006.
ACQ president, Ross Smith, said the association’s activities would continue as normal.
“He [Mr Pidgeon] is certainly still working with us and it is business as usual for the organisation at this point in time,” he said. “He is very enthusiastic and will work with us right up until the transition.”
ACQ has begun the search for a replacement CEO.
