ARIIA: Facing the Future conference announced

ARIIA’s inaugural conference, Facing the Future: Aged Care 2030 and Beyond, will be held on Monday, 15 and Tuesday, 16 May in the William Magarey Room at Adelaide Oval.

For the first time, ARIIA will bring together some of the best and sharpest minds from several sectors across the aged care ecosystem. There will be two days of inspiring debate, conversation and networking to refocus the discussion about living life well as the global population ages.

• Person-centred Living for Dementia
• Embracing Diversity for Positive Ageing
• Solutions for Mental Health and Wellbeing and Social Isolation
• Dignity of Risk in Community Care
• Innovation for End of Life and Palliative Care
• Workforce+
   

Alongside senior members of the aged care ecosystem, key representatives from the federal government will be in attendance and available for networking opportunities and discussions:

• Minister Anika Wells — Minister For Aged Care
• Ian Yates — Inspector General of Aged Care
