The aged care governance landscape has changed; the Aged Care Act 2024 (Cth) delivers a new stronger aged care governance framework. For governing bodies this includes significant mandatory obligations and the challenge of practical implementation to meet the required responsibilities and requirements.
Join Russell Kennedy and Australian Strategic Services for a practical governance masterclass designed to unpack the legal and governance requirements under the Aged Care Act 2024 (Cth), including the impact of the Statement of Rights and what regulators expect from governing bodies in their governance role.
Who should attend?
This masterclass is targeted at the governing bodies (e.g. Board, Directors, Committee of Management, Trustees, Councillors or similar), CEOs and Executives of organisations delivering residential aged care or in-home care services (Support at Home).
What we’ll cover
A clear and pragmatic focus on:
The Reforms | What has changed?
A clear, practical overview of the new governance framework, its components and the key obligations governing bodies need to understand.
The Legal Language | What does it actually mean?
Cut through the legislative language and explore the reforms in plain English, including what they mean for governing bodies decision-making and oversight.
The Real World | How does it apply?
Work through practical case studies drawn from current aged care governance issues, including fees, complaints and conflicts of interest, to explore how the reforms play out in practice.
The Boardroom | What does this mean for you?
Bring it back to your organisation with an interactive discussion focused on applying the reforms to your own governance framework, processes and priorities.
Practical. Interactive. Focused on what boards need to know, what steps to take and what needs to be done to close any gaps.
The session will be followed by an opportunity to continue the conversation over lunch and networking.
Places are limited.
We hope you can join us.
