Dr Brett Robinson, CEO of RetireAustralia, was re-elected as Vice President while Claire Scapinello, ECH CEO, was also elected Vice President - her first time in the role.
The trio was applauded by the RLC membership at the Property Council's headquarters in Sydney on Thursday.
Mr Randello's return as President was marked by an address to the Board where he spoke about the importance of the RLC's newest report, which will soon be released, Homes for all Australians: Removing Rightsizing Roadblocks.
The RLC's new landmark research report focuses on significant reforms to the Age Pension asset test threshold and broadening eligibility criteria for Commonwealth Rent Assistance (CRA).
The report, which has been submitted to the Commonwealth as part of its FY26 budget process, will address cost of living problems for many older Australians.
Mr Randello said he was proud to be re-elected as RLC President and thanked the Board for its vote of confidence.
"I look forward to this renewed challenge with a strong Board of operators who love their residents and care about the reputation of the retirement living industry," he said.
"In my previous term, the Board formed a new and efficient RLC Committee structure, and contributed to the development and successful launch of three significant reports, Better Housing for Better Health, Shared Care, and Retirement Ready: National Planning Report Card.
"The Board was thrilled to see the RLC's Shared Care initiative recognised by the Commonwealth Government with $5.2 million now dedicated to a trailblazing pilot - we're excited to see that take place later this year."
RLC Executive Director Daniel Gannon said the Board remains in good hands with the re-elected and new leadership group.
"The RLC continues to push hard for the industry with strong, informed initiatives and crucial reforms that support older Australians to live happier and healthier lives," Mr Gannon said.
"Our sector has never been more crucial to the country. Australia is facing a triple threat of crises - a rapidly ageing population, a chronic housing supply deficit, and struggling healthcare systems.
"We know that by 2040, Australia's over-75 age cohort is forecast to increase from two million to 3.7 million - an increase of 85 per cent - and these changes will have significant impacts on housing supply, healthcare, and aged care systems."
Dr Robinson has more than a decade of CEO and executive leadership experience, leading a range of high-profile organisations spanning the healthcare, insurance and sports sectors. In 2024, he was appointed Chair of World Rugby. He remains Chair of the RLC's Research and Advocacy Committee.
Over her career, Ms Scapinello has focused on improving customer engagement, experience and outcomes across a broad range of industries including retail, consumer goods, residential, commercial and aged care accommodation. She also Chairs the RLC's Care and Support Services Committee.
