Beyond the Boardroom

Ageing well

As we approach another Federal Budget, the national conversation is already framed by familiar pressures: cost of living, inflation, global uncertainty and a tight fiscal environment.

Training that listens

At Ageing Australia, we believe it’s always possible to do better. That’s why continuous improvement strategies are embedded into our learning and professional development program delivery. A key way we improve our offerings is to listen to what aged care providers and our learners tell us; your feedback inspires us to do better.

Taking the next step

For many international nurses, transitioning to the Australian aged care sector can feel both exciting and daunting.

Beyond the new Aged Care Act

There’s no doubt the Aged Care Act 2024 has been a turning point in Australia’s history. The aged care sector has long called for reform, and we wholeheartedly support the new rights-based approach, which is fundamental to a world-class system.

How aged care can offer healing

Something we often forget in the caring professions, is how much the way we care can make a difference in people’s lives. It isn’t just about the clinical boxes we can tick, it’s about how we treat the individual.
