7.00pm Focus Dinner - Regional Dinner – Adapting Your Game Through Collaboration Adapting to the game of deregulation of markets for government funded service delivery is one of the greatest challenges aged care providers are confronting. The shift to consumer driven markets combined with the funding reductions have many Boards of regional providers questioning the future viability of their organisations. Some of these organisations are discovering that the answer lies in what providers have in the past found to be a natural fit - working and collaborating together. Join Joanne O’Brien Partner at CRH Law and Patrick Herd Principal Consultant at Community Business Australia for an engaging dinner presentation on a group of aged care providers in regional NSW who have taken collaboration to a new level - forming a new company which will be the lynchpin for them to achieve their objectives and continue to serve the communities that rely on them.
