Facing the Future: Aged Care 2030 and Beyond

A wave of older people is heading our way.

According to the World Health Organisation, by 2030, one in six people in the world will be aged 60 years or over. So, for the first time, we’re bringing together the best and sharpest minds from across the aged care ecosystem to set a new vision for how this growing population of Baby Boomers can live their life well in the future.

ARIIA Research Director, Professor Sue Gordon says Facing the Future: Aged Care 2030 and Beyond is the first time that the whole of the aged care ecosystem is coming together to find real and practical solutions for improving care for our older community across Australia.

“It’s time to set a new vision for how we can all our lives well in the future by bringing together all the stakeholders now.

“We are gathering together leading thinkers, futurists and disruptors, and many older people from the community who want to make a significant difference to the future of aged care.

“I look forward to hearing from these people, including the Baby Boomers who have strong opinions about positive ageing and what they need and want as they get older.

“They are after better experiences with plenty of personal lifestyle and care choices. We also have new issues to face with innovation, technology uptake, diversity, inclusion, person-centred care, risk and much more that we want to discuss and find practical outcomes, and real-world solutions.”
