General Manager Commercial Hospitality / Wesley Mission QLD
Ansie Bekker

Ansie Bekker brings more than 30 years of frontline and executive experience across hospitality, contract catering, restaurants and aged care. As Group Hotel Services Manager at Infinite Care, she leads food, cleaning and laundry services across a national multi-site portfolio, operating at the intersection of compliance, procurement, workforce capability, and resident experience.

Her career spans over two decades as a successful restaurant owner, delivering government and corporate catering contracts, and includes senior leadership roles in aged care. This dual background gives her a rare perspective: she understands both commercial performance and the realities of delivering safe, person-centred services within tightly regulated environments.

Ansie has led large-scale operational improvement initiatives, strengthening governance frameworks, lifting food safety compliance, improving service consistency, and driving measurable gains in resident satisfaction and financial performance. She is known for translating regulatory requirements into practical systems that work on the floor N not just on paper.

Her expertise sits firmly in real-world risk management: balancing dignity of choice with food safety, budget pressures with quality outcomes, and workforce constraints with accountability. She works closely with home leaders and catering teams to embed sustainable processes that reduce risk without compromising resident experience.

Passionate about building capable, confident teams, Ansie advocates for pragmatic, evidence-based approaches to compliance in the evolving aged care landscape. Her focus is clear: delivering hospitality services that are safe, sustainable, and genuinely enhance the quality of life for residents.
