About the event

This face-to-face pre-event ahead of ACN’s National Nursing Forum offers members of the Aged Care Nursing Faculty a valuable opportunity to connect, share expertise, and engage in collaborative discussion on contemporary issues shaping aged care nursing.

The event will begin with a welcome and session introduction, followed by a series of concise updates highlighting key developments across policy, practice, and research. These presentations will explore emerging evidence, innovative care models, and education strategies, along with insights into current policy directions impacting the aged care sector.

The session will then transition into an interactive networking activity, using a small-group format to encourage meaningful connections, exchange of ideas, and exploration of potential collaborations among members.

The event will conclude with a synthesis of key insights and shared reflections, including practical suggestions on how the Aged Care Nursing Faculty can continue to support its members and contribute to broader sector improvements.
