Conference Themes

The Big Six
Provider Challenges

The Conference is squarely focused on unpacking the changes and challenges ahead with both Support at Home and the new Strengthened Standards.

Financials & Viability

New pricing and old systems will create major challenges. It's all about Revenue vs Costs. Our experts will detail the new arrangements and provide insights into how you need to reposition your organisation’s financial approach.

Compliance & Quality

It’s not only Support at Home - significant changes to compliance are also coming real soon. From big new clinical requirements to rights and safeguards, we’ll highlight the things you need to know and what you need to do about it.

Workforce & Structure

The right workforce structure is essential. Have you got the right people for the right roles in SaH? The session will focus on bridging the gap between where you are now and where you need to be. Spoiler- it’s a combination of restructure, recruitment, retention and retraining.

Leadership & Governance

Managing strategy, risks and priorities is the job of the people at the top.  Our experts will focus on the areas that you need to pay most attention to while highlighting the big picture challenges and opportunities.

Systems & Software

It’s going to be mission critical to align your business processes with new reporting requirements and your technology. With so little wiggle room on margins you will need fit for purpose systems and software that deliver Support at Home services effectively. Data capture and utilisation are the secrets of success.

Participants
& Communication

So much change on so many fronts in the participants space, including the new name - from ‘clients’ to ‘participants’. We will work through the organisational implications of the ‘rights based’ approach, the many communication complexities in new pricing and consumer fees.
