ACSA National Conference 2010

19–23 September 2010
Grand Chancellor Hotel
Hobart, Tasmania

The ACSA Twenty 10 National Conference will be the most important aged and community care event this year. The
theme is “Explore the possibilities”. The Conference will be held at the Grand Chancellor Hotel on Hobart’s beautiful
waterfront from Sunday September 19 to Wednesday September 22, 2010.

In 2009 we stood up for the future of aged and community care and made our voices heard in Government and the
community. This year it is time for us to design a bright and sustainable future for our industry. To make sure we explore
all the possibilities we will draw on sources far and wide – finding lessons and innovation both outside our industry
‘square’ and from within our industry. At the Conference you will be asked to:

Imagine – a future where aged and community care draws on innovation and ideas from leaders in other fields;
Explore – how we might apply new ideas, technologies and practise to our industry; and
Create – a new a bright future for our clients, residents, families, staff and organisations.
