Returning for 2026 – Aged Care Reform Forum
The New Aged Care Act continues to reshape how we respond to the issues facing older people, aged care providers, workers, and the broader sector. We are delighted to bring back this multidisciplinary forum focused on improving the way services are delivered to older people in their home, community, and aged care setting.
This 2-day forum will deliver dynamic, practical, and solution-driven discussions on effective programs, supports, invaluable insights, and key learnings as we navigate the ongoing implementation of aged care reform.
