#AAGConf24 Plenary Spotlight:
“Fresh thinking on aged care in Australia”
#AAGConf24 is pleased to host the focal and timely plenary panel discussion, “Fresh thinking on aged care in Australia’ chaired by Robert Fitzgerald AM, Australian Human Rights Commission, Age Discrimination Commissioner.
This discussion will consider the key reforms associated with the Aged Care Act (2023), the principle of rights-based care, and how the reforms may impact attitudes toward ageing and the competitive private for-profit market. Will regulation in itself be enough to improve the lives of older people, or will it just be more of the same?
Register now to join this thought-provoking conversation and hear from an exceptional line up of panel members, including:
- Leon Flicker AM, AAG Life Member and Director of the Western Australian Centre for Health and Ageing (WACHA) and inaugural Professor of Geriatric Medicine, University of Western Australia, since 1998.
- Mr Saul Eslake, One of Australia’s leading independent economists, and member of the Australian Parliamentary Budget Office’s Advisory Panel.
- Prof Kathy Eagar AM, Adjunct Professor at the Faculty of Medicine and Health, University of New South Wales and Faculty of Health, Queensland University of Technology.
