Australia’s largest aged care conference gets underway in Adelaide from 25-27 October, heralding an ‘age of change’ for a sector charged with caring for older people in Australia.
The Aged and Community Care Providers Association (ACCPA) National Conference will bring together industry leaders, experts, and visionaries, to embrace a future of reform, striving to better the lives of older Australians and build a sector that we can all be proud of.
“Aged care in Australia is at a crossroads, which brings hope for a brighter future as well as sweeping reforms. Some reforms will be easy and some will be hard. Keeping abreast of developments will be the key to future success in this age of change,” said ACCPA CEO Tom Symondson.
“The ACCPA National Conference is a way for industry leaders, many of whom work at the coalface, to help shape the future of aged care. It’s also an opportunity to learn and share innovations.”
“It’s a chance to connect with like-minded industry professionals, interact with suppliers and explore business prospects and potential partnerships.”
There will be a wide range of sessions, covering governance, leadership, digital solutions, finance, retirement communities, seniors housing, care models, cutting-edge technologies, funding, workforce solutions, critical strategic priorities, and the sector’s long-term viability.
“Aged care’s single greatest challenge is sustainability, both now and in the future. As the population ages, demand for aged care will spiral and we need to be ready. We need to build a sector that’s fit for purpose now and fit for purpose in the future.”
Walkley Award winning journalist Tony Jones will act as Master of Ceremonies. The familiar face of the ABC’s Q&A and Lateline, brings more than 20 years of experience, and a reputation as a master facilitator of thought-provoking engagement.
Celebrated actor, radio presenter and philanthropist Samuel Johnson OAM, will be the Opening Keynote Speaker. Samuel has won AFI and Logie Awards for his roles in ‘The Secret Life of Us,’ and ‘Molly’ and he’s both admired and respected for his charity ‘Love Your Sister.’
