Australia’s aged care sector is at a critical decision point.
One year into the new Aged Care Act, pricing reform remains unresolved, provider margins continue to face pressure, and Western Australia is confronting one of the most significant aged care bed shortages in the country.
The Aged Care Sustainability Breakfast will bring together aged care providers, financial and policy analysts, peak bodies and government representatives for a focused national conversation on one central question:
What needs to happen to make aged care financially sustainable — and what should the sector be asking for before the next Federal Budget?
📅 Thursday, 19 November 2026
⏰ 6:30 AM – 10:00 AM
📍 State Reception Centre, Fraser’s Kings Park, Perth, WA
