NETWORKING ZONE

Welcome to the
National Aged Care Convention

For nine years, we've delivered strategic events to the Australian Care Sector. Our recent events have shown that leaders in Australia’s aged care sector need to be highly flexible and coordinated in order to successfully handle regulatory changes, the growth of AI, evolving technology, workforce issues, and funding and sustainability challenges. CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, CROs, Chief People Officers, HR Directors, and Directors of Care, Quality, Risk, Safety, IT, and Funding all must work together to effectively drive organisational change.  

We have been listening hard to the sector.

 

With many organisations limiting training budgets, we have made the decision to allow hand-selected senior executives from Aged Care Providers to attend the National Aged Care Convention for free. 

With this new approach, we expect to see more than 650 attendees join us in 2026, showing strong growth year on year, and continuing to be the key event in the sector for sector leaders. Last year we had 190 organisations in attendance, including 17 of the largest 20 providers, and we expect to see even more this year. 

The convention will still continue to deliver specialised keynotes, case studies, panel discussions, and interactive roundtables tailored to the needs of different executives and leaders within aged care organisations.

 

While each event is separate, they all offer the opportunity to network and explore solutions in each of the three critical areas. What distinguishes our event is the focus on how an open voice between sector leadership and policy makers can drive change across these critical areas. If you would like to meet, engage, and partner with your industry peers across Technology, Quality, Safety, Risk, Compliance, Care, Workforce, HR, Funding & Finance, you need to be at the National Aged Care Convention 2026.
