10:00 AM Opening Remarks

10:10 AM Keynote Panel Discussion: The Next Frontier of Aged Care: How to Meet the Needs of a New Generation at Home and Beyond

Australia’s aged care sector is undergoing a fundamental shift as a new generation of older people demand greater choice, independence, and quality in how and where they age. With rising expectations for in-home care and personalised services, providers must rethink traditional models and redefine value. Transformation requires more than compliance, it calls for bold organisational strategy, honest reflection on past shortcomings, and a renewed commitment to delivering flexible, human-centred care that truly meets people where they are.

- Reimagining organisational strategy to align with shifting consumer expectations for autonomy, home-based care, and service personalisation

- Identifying and addressing systemic shortcomings that lead to service gaps, customer dissatisfaction, and reputational risk

- Adopting flexible, scalable service models that support care delivery across diverse home and community settings

- Building trust and long-term engagement through transparent communication, values-driven leadership, and continuous service improvement
