Who We Are

Principal and co-founder of Senexus, David possesses extensive knowledge of the aged care sector and service providers within South Australia, and is an active participant within the Australian aged care sector. David has more than 15 years executive management experience in the areas of health, medicine, higher education and community services. Previous roles have included senior management positions at the University of Adelaide and Women’s and Children’s Hospital Foundation.

David describes himself as an advocate for quality, accessible aged care, and passionately believes that all South Australians should be able to access excellent aged care services when they need it. A strong believer in the importance of community building and community service, David was, until recently, the Chairman of the Cure4CF Foundation, a not-for-profit charity raising millions of dollars for innovative local medical research to develop a cure for cystic fibrosis airway disease. David also loves spending time being a dad to his two young children, Alessandra and Sebastian, and indoctrinating them to become passionate supporters of his beloved Port Adelaide Football Club.

David was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in 2021 for service to people living with cystic fibrosis and to the community.

Principal and co-founder of Senexus, Ursula has an extensive background working with individuals and families to support their information needs, and is skilled at making complex information accessible and understandable. Ursula has more than 10 years experience in the information services industry, primarily within the higher education, local government and health sectors.

When it comes to aged care Ursula describes herself as a firm believer in choice and the need to assist individuals and families to make the decisions that will best suit their unique needs. While strongly supporting openness and transparency in aged care services, she is well aware that the wealth of information can make decisions harder rather than easier. Working with individuals and families to reduce the burden and make the process easier is something that she is passionate about.

An experienced aged care consultant with a background in social work, Hilda has extensive experience working with culturally and linguistically diverse individuals and families across many aspects of aged care.

A strong advocate for older adults and their families as they navigate the complexities of their lives, Hilda is highly experienced in working with individuals to identify their needs, provide emotional support, and connect them with essential supports and resources.

With a passion for connecting with and supporting older adults and their families, Hilda volunteers across a number of organisations, actively participating in initiatives to enhance the well-being of her local community. Her commitment to helping others, combined with her experience, ensure families feel supported and confident in their choices as they navigate access to aged care.
