Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission is hosting the National Aged Care Provider Conference 2026 on Tuesday 13 and Wednesday 14 October 2026 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.

This key national event is aimed at responsible persons of registered aged care providers – including board members, CEOs or senior managers.

The conference program includes a rich mix of plenary and parallel sessions as we explore ‘Rights and choice, every day: one year in’. Together, we’ll discuss what has changed in practice under the new rights-based Aged Care Act 2024 and Aged Care Rules 2025 and share insights and learnings into how we continue to embed and regulate rights-based aged care across all settings.
