Hosted by Australian Ageing Agenda and Community Care Review, the one-day intensive event will feature community care providers experienced in wellness, reablement and restorative care discussing their experiences and sharing the lessons learned and experts, who will outline the latest evidence on reablement and restorative care.

The conference features consultants delivering hands-on training via eight topical workshops including:

  • Elizabeth Cyarto, Health Promotion Division, National Ageing Research Institute (NARI), who will facilitate the workshop on using emerging technologies for active ageing.
  • The Independent Living Centre NSW will run a workshop on enabling functional home environments.

Elsewhere the event will take delegates through a stocktake of their organisation to assess readiness and identify areas to improve and take-home resources.
