Ageing Transformation, March 12

10:10 AM Fireside Chat: From Reactive Care to Medicine 3.0: Bolstering Healthy Ageing By Creating Building a Proactive Health System

Australia’s health system is built to react, not prevent - particularly for older Australians. This session explores the shift towards “Medicine 3.0”: a proactive, preventative approach to ageing that bridges hospital and community care, challenges existing funding models, and delivers longer-term health, independence, and sustainability.

  • Why reactive models fail ageing populations and how Medicine 3.0 reframes care
  • Closing the gap between hospital-based and community-led ageing support
  • The long-term value of preventative care, despite short-term funding constraints
