This webinar explored:
The key milestones ahead of us in 2024, including regulatory changes and the industry’s transition toward achieving 215-minute care minute compliance.
Our speakers and a panel of industry CEOs discussed these significant milestones, offering practical strategies and advice on what should already be in place for 2024, what you need to be thinking about now, and what lies ahead for providers and the industry.
The webinar also focused on these five key areas:
- Funding efficiency – Ending the ACFI mindset and moving to efficient margin management
- Data security – Moving towards greater data security across your platforms
- Regulatory Changes – The short term admin and longer term paradigm shifts in new regs
- Governing bodies – Increasing focus on responsibilities of the board and governance of the Aged Care business
- Accommodation review – More commercial freedom and the viability of the “non-care” cost centre
