Bring Your Board to Engage 2025 – Now at Half Price! 28–29 October 2025 | Orange, NSW The Engage 2025 Conference isn’t just for executives and managers — it’s essential for board members facing the biggest governance changes in decades. From 1 November 2025, when the new Aged Care Act takes effect, community transport providers will be officially recognised as Aged Care Providers, and board members will take on new responsibilities as directors. Engage 2025 is your board’s chance to get ahead of these changes. Why your board needs to be there: 🔸 Responsible Person Duty – directors and senior managers will be personally accountable for protecting the rights and wellbeing of older Australians. 🔸 Rights-Based Governance – boards must embed a culture focused on client rights and quality care. 🔸 Greater Oversight – the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission will have stronger regulatory powers. 🔸 New Models of Care & Funding – including Support at Home and more complex funding requirements. 🔸 Independent Board Requirements – mandatory independent directors and members with clinical care expertise. Conference Program highlights: ✅ Practical Workshop on Board Governance under the new Act. ✅ Department of Health, Disability & Ageing panel before the reforms take effect. ✅ Insights from Professor Kathy Eagar on the future of CHSP. ✅ Updates from the National Disability Service. ✅ Workshops on advocacy, government engagement, and reform strategy. ✴️ Special half price offer for your Board Members: To help providers prepare for this new era, board members can attend for just $310 (50% off full registration) — including the full 2Day Conference and Gala Dinner. Give your board the insights and tools they need to lead with confidence in the new Aged Care landscape.
