Ms Ciurlino will be responsible for managing the properties held by AUI’s flagship property fund, the Australian Unity Healthcare Property Trust, and progressing suitable opportunities for the fund such as continuing a number of brownfield developments.
Chris Smith, head of healthcare and retirement living property at AUI, said Ms Ciurlino’s diverse background, including her experience as a valuer, will strengthen the property fund's management team.
“Cathy brings a breadth of experience to the position, having worked in the funds management and property management sides of the industry, and as a tenant and manager while at Pact Group,” said Mr Smith.
“In the role, she will also have the opportunity to use her background as a valuer, which will be very advantageous to our business activities,” he added.
Ms Ciurlino joins AUI from Stockland where she was a fund manager responsible for developing investment strategy and managing acquisitions and sales for three property funds.
