Meet Rick van Emmerik

Rick van Emmerik

Board Member

I am passionate about LIfeline Loddon Mallee because I believe that through our amazing volunteers we provide care, compassion and connection for our community. In the last 18months we have seen bushfires and a pandemic and it is during these uncertain times it’s so important that we are there to provide hope and support. 

We are a well-known and even more integral part of the local community. A financially strong organisation that has an ever increasing number of volunteers that are working together to build resilience in the community and really driving towards the vision of a suicide free Australia. 

I joined the board in May 2020, and I bring with me a wealth of experience, including 15 year’s experience in the finance and telecommunications sector with extensive experience in marketing leadership roles. 

A Bachelor’s degree in computer science and a Graduate diploma in Business Administration from LaTrobe University
