Connect with industry experts and learn how to build a robust governance system and take it from the boardroom to the frontline.

Providing safe, high quality care which is centred on the needs of the client is the hall mark of excellence in service delivery in the Aged Care Sector. Central to achieving this is a robust governance system which translates from the board to the front line carers. This focus on Governance is being given high priority as a consequence of the findings of the Aged Care Royal Commission,  and is clearly articulated in the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission’s Governance Framework and the Aged Care Quality Standard 8.
