12:30 PM Presentation: Navigating the New Aged Care Act: Operational Readiness, Workforce Culture, and Delivering Quality Palliative Care

Australia’s new Aged Care Act marks a fundamental transformation in how care is delivered and governed. Providers must now prepare for greater accountability, stronger compliance frameworks, and a workforce equipped for person-centred models of care. This session explores what “good” looks like under the new reforms, offering practical insights on operational readiness, cultural change, and embedding continuous improvement. Attendees will gain practical tools, examples, and strategies to ensure their organisation is compliant, resilient, and ready to deliver safer, more compassionate care.

- Translating legislative requirements into clear operational and workforce actions

- Building a culture of accountability, safety, and continuous improvement

- Accessing practical tools and frameworks to support compliance and sustainable change
