Calling aged and community care service providers to participate in National Roundtables
The Aged Care Industry Information Technology Council (ACIITC) is calling for aged and community care providers to take part in their new national roundtables.
ACIITC has established three (3) new National Roundtables to engage specific sectors of the aged and community care industry and to promote collaboration and activities focused on the uptake of technology and innovation in the industry. The National Roundtable focus areas are:
- Technology Specific Considerations
- Service Model and Workforce Reform
- and Financial Considerations, including Return on Investment (ROI) and Research and Development (R&D).
As Independent Chair of the ACIITC, I encourage you to submit your Expression of Interest to the National Roundtables to have your chance to contribute to the debate and discuss important reform issues for the aged and community care sector.
The Technology-Specific Considerations National Roundtable will be Co-Chaired by Ms Maria Paz and Mr Daniel Pettman.

The ACIITC engages in various international and national activities, research, and events to highlight best practices, digital enhanced service delivery and high-quality outcomes for older Australians and their families.
The ACIITC is always on the lookout for knowledgeable and energetic aged and community service providers to help with industry projects and will consider Expression of Interest (EOI) in March 2022.
