2014 ACSA National Conference

ACSA-Banner

Aged & Community Services Australia (ACSA) is hosting their 2014 Conferece 'Coming of Age - Redefining Ageing' at the Adelaide Convention Centre from 7-10 September.

The Conference will be an opportunity to network and to learn how providers of residential and community services are adapting to change. The Conference promises to be a most interesting and informative program of plenary sessions, master classes and social events.

"The 2014 Aged and Community Services Australia (ACSA) National Conference program is designed for us all to redefine the experience of ageing in our communities questioning everything about delivery of services and what else is possible. The sector has matured and is ready to work on a new image/pathway for aged care."
