Executive leadership

Graeme has been with Dougherty Apartments since 2019, managing a nine-storey residential community and overseeing the delivery of services that support both independent living and residential aged care residents.

His role is diverse, encompassing compliance with relevant legislation, project management, contractor oversight, and the ongoing maintenance of a building that residents are proud to call home.

Graeme works closely with his team to ensure a safe, well-maintained and welcoming environment, while also supporting key areas such as dining services, environmental operations and day-to-day maintenance. He recognises that this is more than a facility; it is home for residents and this understanding shapes his approach.

He is particularly passionate about minimising risk, finding practical solutions and achieving positive outcomes for the community. What continues to motivate Graeme is the opportunity to contribute with empathy and care within an evolving and meaningful sector.

Mick joined Dougherty Apartments in December 2025, drawn to its strong reputation, community focus and values that closely align with his own.

As Residential Manager, he leads the daily operations to ensure residents receive safe, high-quality, person-centred care. He supports staff, maintains compliance with regulatory standards and fosters a respectful and positive environment for residents, families, and the team.

His goal is to create a home where residents feel valued and supported, staff feel confident and empowered, and families trust that their loved ones are receiving the highest standard of care. He is focused on continuous improvement, strong leadership, and building a culture grounded in compassion and accountability.

What he values most about working in aged care is the opportunity to make a meaningful difference each day. He is passionate about building genuine connections, supporting residents with dignity, and creating a safe and inclusive environment.
