The theme – Partnering for Quality and Innovation – set the tone for a day rich in collaboration, insight and heart.
From the opening session about the new Aged Care Act to practical breakouts on clinical care and workforce wellbeing, the event tackled the sector’s biggest challenges head-on.
But it was the personal stories that truly resonated.
Aged care advocate Danijela Hlis shared her lived experience, reminding everyone why this work matters.
“I was hesitant to speak,” she admitted, “but the support I received showed how deeply we all care.”
Breakout sessions explored everything from telehealth and medication safety to leadership and culture.
A panel on reducing preventable hospitalisations highlighted the power of local partnerships and shared clinical leadership.
Digital tools like My Health Record also took the spotlight, with speakers encouraging services to start small and build confidence.
The final panel of the day explored the implications of the new Aged Care Act, offering practical advice for navigating reform while maintaining quality, safety and person-centred care.
By day’s end, the message was clear: while the road ahead is complex, the sector on the Gold Coast is united in its commitment to better care for older Australians.
