Aged Care 2076: Wild Predictions and Bold Ideas 

Thursday 7 May 2026
2.30-3.30pm

Precis

To close the conference, we’re throwing out the rulebook and jumping 50 years into the future. This fastpaced, fishbowlstyle finale brings together a powerhouse mix of thinkers across AI, geriatrics, digital service models and robotics to imagine—boldly, and maybe a little provocatively—what aged care in Australia could look like in the year 2076. 

This final session promises energy, laughter, and inspiration as we imagine an aged care future that’s technologically advanced, deeply human, and uniquely Australian. 

The perfect ending to a conference about transforming care—by imagining what’s possible when we leap far beyond today.
