Aged care: The new frontier

The 21st Annual Tri-State Conference will bring aged care professionals from across NSW and Victoria, as well as South Australia, to consider the Conference theme Aged care: The new frontier.

In 2012, Aged care: The new frontier will look at the future of aged care as the industry embarks upon the journey into a new era of aged care provision following the 2011 release of the Productivity Commission’s report into the industry.

Presentations from leading industry experts will focus on a range of projects, methods and ideas which will lead the industry into a new chapter, a new frontier of aged care services provision, management and leadership.
