National Care Sectors Conference: NDIS, Aged Care & Childcare.
We’re proud to welcome Andrew Hudson, Chief Executive Officer of the Centre for Policy Development to one of Australia’s most important conversations on NDIS, aged care, childcare, and the future of the care sector.
Good policy does not happen by accident. It happens when the right people ask the right questions and refuse to stop until the answers are honest.
Australia’s care sector is at a defining moment.
The NDIS is under the most significant review and reform pressure in its history. The aged care system is navigating the consequences of a Royal Commission that laid bare the gap between what older Australians deserve and what the system has been delivering.
That is precisely the challenge the Centre for Policy Development exists to address.
As CEO of the Centre for Policy Development one of Australia’s most respected independent think tanks dedicated to developing and advancing policy ideas that serve the long term public interest Andrew Hudson leads an organisation whose work sits at the very intersection of evidence, advocacy, and the kind of deep, sustained policy thinking that genuine care sector reform requires.
✅ Independent policy development at the intersection of NDIS, aged care, and childcare
✅ Evidence-based reform what the research actually tells us about what works
✅ The long term policy architecture of a sustainable Australian care economy
✅ Bridging the gap between policy intent and care sector reality
✅ Cross-sector collaboration and the policy frameworks that enable it
✅ Leadership in the public interest at a critical moment for Australian care policy
The care sector will not be transformed by goodwill alone. It will be transformed by better policy rigorously developed, honestly advocated, and courageously implemented. Andrew Hudson and the Centre for Policy Development are doing that work. And at this conference, he brings it directly to the leaders who need it most.
