2026 LCA Aged Care Networking Forum update

Preparations are well and truly underway for what promises to be a great event, and we are so looking forward to welcoming our network to Melbourne in May.

Your Forum Schedule at a glance:

Wednesday Pre-Session

Our pre-event session will explore the digital space, covering Cyber, AI, and Risk and will be led by Organisational Psychologist Dr Scott Krebs from one of our wonderful sponsors. This is a fantastic opportunity to engage with one of the most pressing topics facing our sector currently. The evening will then continue with a pre-event dinner from 7.00 pm.

New Format

This year we are doing something different. For the first time, our Forum will have an external facilitator, designed to genuinely challenge our members and spark fresh thinking. Member feedback has consistently told us that peer-to-peer connection is one of the most valued aspects of the Forum, and this new approach is our commitment to taking that even further.

Our Sponsors

The Forum simply would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors, and we are delighted to have such a strong and committed group joining us in Melbourne. A warm welcome to each of them:

• Aon
• Cater Care
• Cowell Clarke
• Effectus Digital
• Lee Care
• LLL
• Marsh/Mercer

We encourage our members to take time during the event to connect with our sponsors who bring a wealth of knowledge and a genuine interest in supporting the work we do.

Who’s coming from your organisation?

Official invitations are on their way to you this week, and we would love to see strong representation from across the network. If colleagues from your organisation are also planning to attend – or if you think someone should be in the room – please do let me know. The more voices we have around the table, the better.

We cannot wait to see you in Melbourne!
