Media Release: Resignation of NDIA CEO

I have been informed by the Chair of the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) Board, Dr Helen Nugent AO, of the resignation of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the NDIA, Mr Robert De Luca, effective immediately. 

I am advised that Mr De Luca has notified the Board that he will become CEO of Zenitas Healthcare, a community health organisation, which has recently been acquired by the private equity firm of Adamantern Capital Management and Liverpool Partners.

On behalf of the Morrison Government, I thank Mr De Luca for his significant contribution to the NDIA since his appointment as NDIA CEO on 28th August 2017.

Ms Vicki Rundle, currently the NDIA’s Deputy CEO, Government, Communications and Stakeholder Engagement has been appointed Acting NDIA CEO and I look forward to working with her.

A search for a new CEO will commence immediately. The appointment decision will be a matter for an incoming Government.
