2025 Event Recap
Hilton Sydney
The Aged Care Quality, Safety & Risk Forum brought together 170+ delegates from across Australia to explore how to strengthen quality, safety, and risk to deliver better outcomes and enhance trust in aged care services. The program featured standout sessions from Tim Hicks (Bolton Clarke) on quality indicators and their influence on star ratings, and Rachel Garcia (Catholic Healthcare) on innovating metrics to improve care.
Key sessions also included insights on the risk and opportunities with mergers (Geraldine Lannon, Ageing Australia), navigating the new regulatory landscape (Steve Aivaliotis, Baptistcare), and minimising risks and improving resident outcomes (Julia Lawrence, St Vincent's Care Services).

Attendee Feedback
“Sponsoring an event like this has allowed us to meet a large cross section of people, from C-suite and decision makers to people on the ground like nurses, and it’s handy to speak to them about what they need and want. It’s one of the most qualitative events we’ve attended, and as a result we’re having some phenomenal conversations. ”
