PART OF THE NATIONAL AGED CARE CONVENTION
With a new Aged Care Act along with new Aged Care Regulatory Model and strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards coming into place in 2024, Aged Care providers around Australia are facing unprecedented challenges in ensuring their quality assurance, safety, and risk management measures are sufficiently robust to meet compliance and operational requirements outlined in new regulatory reform.
If Australia is to develop its Aged Care sector to provide world-leading safe and quality services, it will need to adopt innovative quality, safety and risk systems and solutions aimed at improving participant care and quality standards, reducing workforce burdens, meeting quality and compliance requirements, and strengthening governance.
The Aged Care Quality, Safety & Risk Forum is a crucial event that will unite senior leaders from government, leading aged care providers, top tertiary education institutions, essential allied health organisations and cutting-edge technology vendors to urgently address the rapid changes and stringent compliance demands required to deliver the highest standards of care for consumers.
