Welcome to the Aged Care Financial Sustainability Forum
With the new Aged Care Act coming into effect on July 1, 2025 and increasing financial pressures, the Aged Care Financial Sustainability Forum is a crucial event for aged care providers looking to navigate regulatory changes and secure long-term financial sustainability.
As stricter liquidity and investment standards reshape the sector, attendees will gain essential insights into compliance strategies, cash flow optimisation, and alternative funding models to mitigate rising operational costs. The forum will also address the financial implications of workforce reforms, including mandatory care minutes and wage increases, helping providers adapt without compromising care quality.
Beyond compliance and cost management, the forum will provide practical insights into leveraging technology for financial efficiency, including AI, automation, and predictive analytics.
As a sponsor, this is your opportunity to position your brand as a key player in aged care organisations as they navigate financial sustainability amid regulatory changes and rising costs. The event will allow you to engage directly with decision-makers and demonstrate your commitment to strengthening the aged care sector.
