Financial sustainability in aged care is under the spotlight—tightening regulations, rising workforce costs, and reform-driven pressures are reshaping the sector. Will your organisation lead through change—or be left reacting to it?
With the new Aged Care Act coming into effect on 1 July 2025, aged care providers must prepare for a wave of financial and regulatory change. Stricter liquidity and investment standards, combined with increasing operational costs, are pushing organisations to rethink how they manage funding, compliance, and long-term viability.
The Aged Care Finance & Sustainability Forum 2025 is your essential opportunity to build financial resilience, understand the implications of reform, and explore future-ready funding strategies.
Designed for CFOs, finance directors, CEOs, governance leaders, and operational executives, this event will equip you to meet your financial obligations—while continuing to deliver quality care.

-
Proven strategies to meet financial compliance under the new Aged Care Act and manage regulatory risk

Insights into optimising cash flow, forecasting demand, and modelling for long-term sustainability

YOU ASKED
WE ANSWERED
Can industry talks feature real case studies and less theory about the benefits?
We have strongly advised all our solution partners to bring their aged care partners to their talk to make them more engaging and relevant to attendees.
Will the venue offer easy networking access and ease of moving around between sessions?
Our new venue is all located on one floor, and with adjoining rooms it allows complete ease of movement between sessions and breaks – giving you more time to network and meet the exhibitors.
Can we hear from various sizes of aged care organisations?
We have curated an incredible lineup for this year's conference, including a number of top 10 aged care providers, but also smaller ones who will present the innovative solutions they have found to some of the sector’s biggest challenges.
It’s difficult to get 2 days away from work, can the forum be made more accessible?
This year's event is more concise and has managed to fit the same strong, detailed and engaging programme into one day. This means you still get the same amazing information without having to take too much time away.
Can we get some updates and understanding about how reforms and changing standards will affect us?
We have dedicated significant parts of the agenda to discussing and understanding the increased challenges that are being faced due to new reforms and financial standards. We have made sure to cover areas including liquidity, prudential standards, rising workforce costs and much more.
