UARC presents its second 2024 Showcase, highlighting how Australia’s Aged Care sector is navigating the shifting landscape of home care.

This event will focus on the key challenges and innovative solutions needed to deliver integrated, sustainable, and high-quality home care. Discussions will centre on building a resilient system that meets the evolving needs of older adults, with a focus on provision of quality of care, the built environment, coordination across services and the role of digital technologies that promotes well-being and independence. Understanding these key areas are critical for providers, policy makers and academics with the new Support at Home program commencing from July 1 2025.

This full-day event will showcase new research findings from UARC and operational insights from industry leaders and policymakers through expert-led sessions and dynamic panel discussions.
