The Positive Ageing Summit 2025 conference has a wonderful focus on allied health, reablement and healthspan, with the purpose of exploring holistic health with a fantastic lineup of speakers.
Australia’s aged care sector stands at a pivotal moment. The Positive Ageing Summit 2025 launches as a dedicated platform where industry professionals converge to drive meaningful change in how we care for older Australians.
This inaugural summit unites clinicians, caregivers, policy makers, and service providers in a shared mission: transforming aged care through evidence-based innovation. Our program centres on four critical pillars – reablement, mental health, nutrition, and progressive business practices—each essential to delivering person-centred care that truly enhances quality of life.
What to Expect
The summit delivers a comprehensive program designed for maximum impact:
- Keynote presentations from leading voices in geriatric care and policy reform
- Panel discussions exploring real-world challenges and breakthrough solutions
- Interactive workshops providing hands-on learning in best-practice approaches
- Structured networking connecting you with peers and potential collaborators across the sector
Who Should Attend
This event serves professionals at every level of aged care:
- Healthcare practitioners seeking evidence-based approaches to elder care
- Care facility managers and administrators driving operational excellence
- Policy influencers shaping the regulatory landscape
- Researchers and academics advancing the science of healthy ageing
- Service providers committed to innovative care delivery models
The Opportunity
The aged care landscape is evolving rapidly. New research in reablement is revolutionising how we support functional independence. Mental health approaches are becoming more sophisticated and targeted. Nutritional science continues to reveal powerful interventions for healthy ageing. Business models are adapting to meet both quality imperatives and sustainability challenges.
The Positive Ageing Summit 2025 positions you at the forefront of these developments, equipping you with practical strategies, emerging insights, and professional connections that translate directly into better outcomes for the older Australians in your care.
Join us in building an aged care system that doesn’t just provide services, but actively promotes dignity, independence, and wellbeing at every stage of life.
I will share the stage on day 2 with Daniel Gannon and David Moran to discuss health in retirement.
