The ITAC Conference 2026 brought together more than 770 attendees across two days of discussion, networking and industry collaboration focused on the future of aged care, community care and retirement living in Australia. The event featured keynote presentations, sector insights and panel discussions exploring major themes including workforce development, leadership, innovation, digital transformation and consumer outcomes.
Industry leaders, providers and professionals shared practical perspectives on the evolving challenges facing the sector, while highlighting opportunities to improve care delivery and operational sustainability. Many sessions reinforced the importance of collaboration, adaptability and continuous improvement as aged care reforms continue to reshape the industry.
A busy trade exhibition also showcased emerging technologies, products and services designed to support providers and improve resident experiences. Another key highlight was the 2026 ITAC Awards, recognising individuals and organisations making meaningful contributions across aged care, community care and retirement living. Organisers thanked delegates, speakers, exhibitors and partners for helping create an event centred on innovation, connection and the future of care in Australia.
