With a deep understanding of how the aged care sector is evolving and an appreciation for the diverse health and wellbeing needs of our ageing community, Graeme Prior has dedicated his career to shaping aged care delivery in Australia.

Graeme is the co-founder and CEO of Hall & Prior – a nationally recognised and respected leader in the aged care delivery, quality and innovation. Founded in 1992, with a single family-owned nursing home, under Graeme’s leadership the Group has expanded to include 39 ‘centres for healing’ across Australia. They offer world-class care, amenities and cutting-edge aged care programs, servicing 1,800 aged care residents and employing 4,000 staff members. Over 25-plus years, Graeme has actively consulted and initiated enlightening conversations with Australia’s senior community, government, industry members and nursing and healthcare professionals to identify sector trends and influence the delivery of improved welfare and health outcomes.

He leads the organisation’s commitment to enhance social outcomes through the provision of carefully considered quality and accessible care options for all older people, no matter what their individual circumstance or background may be. A thought-leader of the industry, Graeme is passionate about improving the quality of aged care services through education, workforce enablement and the use of technology to implement evidence-based practice.

Graeme was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in the General Division in 2025 for significant service to the aged care sector, and to Alzheimer’s disease research.

He is one of seven siblings, and his mother Poppy was a Registered Nurse and midwife, while his father was a Commonwealth Governement engineer.
