Thank you to our sponsors for making this FREE Essential Briefing possible:
CHSP reform is here.
Now what?
The new Aged Care Act is reshaping how CHSP operates. Registration is mandatory, client rights are enforceable and governance obligations just keep on rising.
We’re bringing together the sector experts, financial advisors, legal eagles to provide clear next steps with real examples and practical tools.
Who should attend and why
Designed for CHSP leaders, program managers and board members already navigating the realities of the post-1 November landscape.
You should come if:
You deliver CHSP-funded services and need to stay compliant
You’ve already hit hurdles with assessments, service agreements or data capture
You want honest answers about the financial, legal and operational implications
