Profit, Purpose and Regulation: Securing the Financial Viability of Aged Care

C3 – Financial Sustainability and Viability
25 November 2026
2.30pm – 3.15pm

Without sustainable returns, providers cannot invest in their workforce, improve services or meet growing regulatory expectations. This session challenges the assumption that profit and purpose are in conflict and asks a direct question: Can the regulations, the numbers and the funding model align to deliver care that is both compliant and commercially sustainable?
