PANEL DISCUSSION:

What are the keys to creating innovative and integrated care services for ageing in place?

The design of the next generation of aged care services needs to respond to the demand for different types of care, diversity of options and the strong preference people have for remaining in their own home and community.

• Overcoming the challenges to change and reform in aged care
• Regulation that enables and promotes delivery of quality aged care experiences
• Creating a consumer focused, high quality aged care system
• Care in the right environment: Enabling timely discharge from hospital, technologies and services for recovery and ageing well at home: How do we work to develop solutions?
• How will the sector recruit, retain and upskill the workforce of the future to meet the needs of our ageing population
