Welcome to the
National Aged Care Convention
Australia’s aged care sector has moved from reform announcement to the reality of delivery. With the new Aged Care Act now in force, providers are navigating heightened accountability, workforce pressure, rapid technological change and growing expectations around care quality and outcomes.
The National Aged Care Convention 2026 brings together senior leaders from across the sector to navigate this new era with confidence. Across two days, the convention provides a strategic forum to step back from day-to-day pressures and focus on delivering safe, high-quality, person-centred care in a rapidly evolving regulatory, workforce and operating environment.
Designed for leaders across aged care providers, governance, clinical care, quality and risk, home care, government, and technology, the convention convenes those shaping strategy, strengthening systems and safeguarding outcomes for older Australians.
The program is delivered through three dedicated forums — the Aged Care Quality, Safety & Risk Forum, the Aged Care Workforce Leaders Forum, and the AI & Technology in Aged Care Forum — allowing attendees to engage deeply with the issues most critical to their role while remaining connected to the broader sector conversation.
The National Aged Care Convention 2026 is your opportunity to connect with sector leaders, gain practical insight, and return equipped to lead safer, stronger and more resilient aged care organisations in the new aged care era.
Our Advisory Board
Our program is developed in close collaboration with our advisory board, who are actively involved in shaping the agenda, identifying key topics and speakers, and ensuring the content reflects real-time challenges faced by the sector.
