National Care & Support Sector Conference 2026
We’re proud to welcome Tania Taylor, Chief Executive Officer of Be Centre Foundation to one of Australia’s most important conversations on care, support, and the future of the care sector.
Prevention is not the absence of crisis. It is the presence of support before crisis arrives.
And yet the evidence is unambiguous.
Early, community-based, preventive support is not just more humane than crisis intervention. It is more effective. It is more sustainable. And it is infinitely less costly in human terms and in economic ones.
As CEO of Be Centre Foundation, Tania leads an organisation committed to building the kind of early, accessible, and community-centred support that helps people find their footing before they lose it providing mental health and wellbeing support, building personal capability and resilience, and creating the conditions in which individuals, families, and communities can genuinely thrive.
Her leadership is grounded in a profound belief that every person regardless of their circumstances, their background, or the challenges they are navigating has the capacity to grow, to heal, and to live a life of meaning and connection.
That belief is not aspirational. At Be Centre Foundation, it is operational.
She brings to this conference a perspective that sits at the vital intersection of prevention, early intervention, and community-centred care:
✅ Prevention and early intervention building support before crisis arrives
✅ Mental health and wellbeing community-based approaches that work
✅ Personal capability and resilience supporting people to find and sustain their footing
✅ Community-centred care designing support around people not systems
✅ The economics of prevention making the case for early investment at scale
✅ Leadership with purpose running values-driven organisations in a complex funding landscape
