Catholic Healthcare congratulates Mr Christopher Rigby AM on his inclusion in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List announced yesterday.

Belinda Moyes, Interim CEO, Catholic Healthcare said she was delighted to congratulate Mr Rigby on behalf of Catholic Healthcare.
“Chris was integral to the establishment and success of Catholic Healthcare,” says Ms Moyes. “A man of many strengths, Mr Rigby instilled in Catholic Healthcare a vision, determination, commitment to faith, and a passion for the respectful, compassionate and excellent care of those in need.”
Without Chris Rigby, Catholic Healthcare would not have happened.
When Mr Rigby was appointed Managing Director in 1994, he was the only employee. By the time he retired in 2011, Chris had built a team of 3,000 and transformed Catholic Healthcare into an award-winning aged and healthcare provider.
Catholic Healthcare thanks Mr Rigby and all other Queen’s Birthday Honours recipients for their contributions and achievements.
