Gillian Robinson-Gibb
Founder, CEO, (RN, BN), Author
Hercules Health (originally HCSL) began when Gillian was being called on repeatedly to perform statutory management roles in aged care services that had received serious complaints and were deemed to be failing those in their care. Gillian could see there was a better way than being the ‘ambulance’ at the bottom of the hill and sought to create solutions for aged care services which guided them in better service while verifying compliance to meet their audit requirements.
With over 30 years’ experience as a health professional, Gillian understands the need of those in the aged care boardroom and the resident bedroom!
Gillian is also the author of two books “Excellence in Residential Care: a guide for managers and nurses, (2013) and “Excellence in Care: a guide for managers and nurses (2025), Registered Nurse and Lead Auditor. Edition two is in writing phase as at March 2024… watch this space for updates on publication!
Gillian has developed a solid reputation in the residential care as the ‘go to’ person for understanding and meeting compliance requirements. She is well placed to support you on your journey in aged care compliance. Having served on the New Zealand Aged Care Association – Nursing Leadership Group for two and a half years, Gillian continues to thrive on supporting the aged care sector to be better than before.
Gillian likes to balance work life by enjoying time reading, travelling and large-scale gardening.
