A letter from our advisory board

We are excited to bring together aged care providers, technology leaders, policymakers, researchers, innovators (and even an actual Robot!) for a national conference focused on AI & Technology in Aged Care. 

In the context of an ageing population, workforce pressures, rising care complexity, and increasing expectations for quality and safety, aged care delivery is becoming more challenging than ever. At the same time, rapid advances in digital health, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and assistive technologies are reshaping what is possible across care, operations, and workforce support. 

The good news is that innovation across the aged care sector is accelerating. From AI-enabled clinical decision support and predictive analytics to digital care management, robotics, and smart home technologies, new approaches are emerging that can improve outcomes for older people while supporting staff and strengthening service sustainability. The challenge lies in translating these innovations into practice, scaling what works, and ensuring technology is implemented ethically, safely, and with older people at the centre. 

This forum will bring together the best and brightest from across Australia who understand that these challenges are not roadblocks, but opportunities. Speakers will showcase evidence-based technologies, real-world implementations, and practical insights, while also exploring future directions for AI and digital transformation in aged care. 

If you are committed to shaping a more responsive, sustainable, and person-centred aged care system through technology and innovation, we invite you to join us at this important national gathering.
