Overview

ACSA NSW AND ACT REGIONAL FORUM - New England

The Aged Care industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace in 2019 with the introduction of the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission, the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, and the implementation of the new Aged Care Quality Standards. All the while, providers continue with business as usual, delivering high quality services which are valued by older Australians.

We understand from talking with our membership that members gain enormous value from meeting with each other periodically through regional committees, networks and special interest groups. ACSA has worked with its regional chairs to develop a programme of hot topics to be delivered at a series of regional forums throughout NSW and the ACT. You will hear from key ACSA staff and have the opportunity to discuss any issues, ask questions and network with your colleagues.
