The Cultural Diversity in Ageing Conference has a long-standing history of bringing together policy makers, aged care leaders, and advocates to address the evolving needs of older people in Australia. From its first event in 2005 to the most recent virtual gathering in 2021, the conference has provided valuable insights and strategies to create a more equitable aged care system.

Each conference explores key themes such as inclusive service delivery, storytelling for visibility, innovative language resources, and methods for capturing feedback from older people to shape policy and practice. Highlights include keynote presentations from industry leaders, panel discussions, and recognition of excellence through the Cultural Diversity in Ageing Excellence Awards.
