Melissa Argent is one of Australia’s most dynamic and innovative aged care leaders and ensures Rockpool’s residents live their best lives in a caring, supportive and compassionate environment. She is committed to leading a culture of excellence, professionalism, quality outcomes and collaborative practice, which is always resident focused.

Every Australian deserves exceptional aged care, irrespective of their needs. At Rockpool, the team and I ensure aged care is a celebration of life. It’s an honour to provide support, dignity and joy to our residents in a happy and nurturing environment. Aging is a privilege and I want to give older Australians the care, accommodation and lifestyle they deserve. At Rockpool, we’re doing something that nobody has done before by showcasing what is possible for older Australians living in residential aged care. It’s taking the time to get to know each resident, so they can live with purpose and happiness. In Australia, there is a total misperception about how and why we should care for older people. At Rockpool we celebrate our residents by honouring their extraordinary lives in an environment which is safe, secure, inclusive, contemplative, reflective and vibrant with life.
