Future focus for aged care services

The Cited team was in full swing at this week’s 2017 Leading Age Services Australia (LASA) National Congress at the Gold Coast, where attendees heard about major changes and trends in the aged care sector.

The Congress, the biggest aged care event in the Asia Pacific region, was an opportunity for industry leaders to discuss critical issues such as digital disruption, the changing nature of the aged care workplace, the global megatrends shaping the industry and policy and legislative issues.

LASA launched a national innovation network for Australia’s aged care sector, innovAGEING, during the Congress, in a move to facilitate a connected community of practice for progressive thinkers, practitioners and innovators.

“Embracing innovation in aged care will further enable older Australians to retain their independence, giving them choice and control over their care, support and services they need and deserve.”

LASA CEO, Sean Rooney

Cited, a LASA partner is at the forefront of the business model innovation and change for providers of age services. Cited believes that older citizens are Australian treasures, and their well-being is something that everyone should care about.

It is vital that the people working with older Australians are who they say they are and have relevant and current credentials. Hiring non-qualified personnel, or failing to maintain workplace compliance standards, can result in serious operational, a financial or reputational risk for providers of age services.
