Home in Place is undergoing an important leadership transition.

After more than two decades of dedicated service Greg Budworth is retiring from his role as Group Managing Director.

Greg joined the company in 2004 and was appointed Group Managing Director in 2012. Under his leadership, Home in Place has grown from humble beginnings to become one of the largest social housing providers in the Asia Pacific, with approximately 7,500 properties under management, annual revenue exceeding $135 million, and over a billion dollars’ worth of assets.

While his executive responsibilities concluded at the end of June, Mr Budworth will remain heavily involved with the organisation as a Non-Executive Director.

Reflecting on the past two decades Mr Budworth said it had been a privilege to lead the company through a period of extensive growth, and he felt the time was right to hand over to a new leader.

“It has been a privilege to lead this organisation and work alongside such a dedicated team. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together,” he said.

“Part of leadership is recognising when it’s time to step forward, and when it’s time to step aside. I do so now with a great sense of accomplishment in what we have built and trust in what comes next.

“While I’m moving on from this role, I will continue to support the organisation’s mission and remain one of its strongest advocates.”

To ensure continuity and stability the Board has confirmed the appointment of Home in Place’s Australian CEO Lyndall Robertshaw as Group CEO for a period of six months, effective from 2 July 2025.

Home in Place Chair Kwesi Addo said Lyndall was a highly respected and long-serving leader within the community housing sector who has played a central role in Home in Place’s evolution and growth over the past two decades.

“Lyndall brings a wealth of experience to the role, embodies our values, and is ideally suited to helping Home in Place navigate this change smoothly.”

Ms Robertshaw said it was an honour to step into the role at such a pivotal time.

“I want to acknowledge Greg’s outstanding leadership over the past 20 years, and the support he has offered to me during our time working together,” she said.

“We are incredibly fortunate to have his legacy as the foundation for the opportunities that lie ahead.

“My priority over the next six months will be on maintaining momentum and focus. Home in Place’s vision and mission remain unchanged and I am committed to making sure the incredibly important work we do continues uninterrupted.”

Ms Robertshaw, and the Executive Team will lead the organisation with the full confidence and support of the Board, ensuring stability and continuity throughout the transition period.
