Australian Unity Limited (ASX: AYU) has announced Ms Kelly Bayer Rosmarin will become the next Group Managing Director (GMD) & Chief Executive Officer (CEO), succeeding Mr Rohan Mead, who informed the mutual company’s board in March this year of his intention to retire after 21 years in the role.

Ms Bayer Rosmarin will officially commence as GMD & CEO on 15 December 2025, after completing a transition period alongside Mr Mead from 5 November 2025.

Ms Lisa Chung AM, Australian Unity Chair said Ms Bayer Rosmarin had emerged from a comprehensive selection process as the standout leader to drive the health, wealth and care Group’s continued strategic growth.

“A dynamic and adept contemporary business leader, Kelly possesses the values alignment and credentials to advance the Group’s vision of positively impacting the wellbeing of its members, customers, employees and the community,” Ms Chung said.

Having led several large-scale transformation programs and digital innovations, she has a track record of delivering results while growing global businesses.

Ms Chung confirmed that the board’s unanimous appointment followed a rigorous selection process, involving both internal and external candidates, over several months.

“Australian Unity is undertaking a significant transformation program, positioning the organisation to respond to demographic trends that are expected to increase demand for our services and investment in key sectors,” Ms Chung said.
