CEDA – The tipping point for aged care – Including Ageing Minister David Davis

Friday, 18 October 2013, 8.30am to 2.00pm
RMIT University, Storey Hall, 342 Swanston Street, Melbourne

Join Minister David Davis and key industry commentators for an analysis of current aged care reforms.

The tipping point for aged care will examine:

• current government policy and recent reforms and discuss whether they go far enough to build a capable aged care system for the future;
• aged care facilities versus staying at home and how to finance these alternative options; and
• the future of aged care in Victoria with a keynote address by Victorian Minister for Ageing, David Davis.

Whether you’re immersed in the aged care sector on a day to day basis, or a stakeholder or service provider to the sector, you will want to add your voice to this important discussion.
