Organisational Chart
2025 Financial Statement

With current revenue sitting at over $8m, Accoras has set an ambitious target to grow revenue to $25m. 

Importantly, this is not growth for growth’s sake, but rather planned, sustainable growth to ensure the ongoing sustainability and expanded reach of the organisation. 

Building on their established partnerships and local service knowledge, the goal is to identify funding gaps and provide market ready solutions that complement the suite of services currently offered. Forward thinking and gap analysis to identify market opportunities within the business, and externally with other organisations is a clear directive for this next chapter in their growth. 

Optimisation of the business, with a continuing focus on business efficiency, service, and system improvement, is a critical element in the next stage of their development. Rather than being purely clinically focused, Accoras is all about responsive, appropriate care and support to provide the best outcomes for clients. 

A robust process of internal and external review and analysis is used to determine the effectiveness and benefits of the programs and services offered while sharpening the focus on client care, ensuring they are positioned in the right place at the right time with the right resources to meet identified service needs. 

Ongoing challenges faced by community-based service organisations centre around funding, human resources and risk management. Accoras are well placed to confidently pre-empt and purposefully navigate these challenges having developed multiple revenue streams and created an environment where staff feel supported and empowered to make a difference. 

Trust and transparency are sewn into the fabric of this organisation’s culture. Opportunities to learn and develop to provide a better service to clients is a key element in the success of the business. 

Accoras has established a vibrant culture with a recent employee satisfaction survey scoring highly. Accoras celebrate their people and value the collective contribution they make to the ongoing successes of the organisation.  The sector is poised for significant growth, and Accoras is well-positioned to capitalise. 

The incoming CEO will drive the next generation of Accoras, with a focus on: 

• Empowering direct reports and enabling operational autonomy. 
• Maintaining oversight while advancing strategic growth. 
• Strengthening internal culture and team cohesion. 

The candidate will have demonstrated a grounded yet aspirational approach, combining practical leadership with a clear vision for the future. They will have built strong connections within the mental health sector and will have maintained established relationships with key funders. By this stage, they will have effectively leveraged their networks to identify and pursue new opportunities. Their leadership will not have been “business as usual,” but instead future-focused, growth-oriented, and deeply attuned to organisational culture.
