National Care Sectors Conference: NDIS, Aged Care & Childcare
We’re proud to welcome Emeline Gaske, National Secretary of the Australian Services Union to one of Australia’s most important conversations on NDIS, aged care, childcare, and the future of the care workforce.
Behind every care service in Australia is a worker. And that worker deserves better.
That is the reality Emeline Gaske confronts every single day.
As National Secretary of the Australian Services Union one of Australia’s largest and most influential unions representing workers across community services, aged care, disability, and childcare Emeline is one of the country’s most powerful and persistent voices for the workers who make Australia’s care sector function.
Her advocacy does not happen in the abstract.
And it happens on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of workers the majority of them women whose labour makes it possible for Australians with disability to live with independence, for older Australians to age with dignity, and for children to learn and grow in safe, nurturing environments.
She brings to this conference what every care sector leader, policymaker, and provider needs to hear:
✅ Workforce rights and conditions across NDIS, aged care, and childcare
✅ Industrial relations and the future of care sector employment frameworks
✅ Pay equity and the true economic value of care work
✅ Workforce sustainability retaining and supporting care sector workers
✅ The intersection of sector reform and worker wellbeing
✅ Union leadership and advocacy at the heart of care sector change
A care sector that does not invest in its workforce is not a sustainable sector. It is a sector in slow decline and the people paying the highest price are the workers holding it together and the Australians depending on their care. Emeline is fighting to reverse that trajectory. And at this conference, she brings that fight to the national stage.
