Baby Boomers are expected to drive a 40% surge in demand for aged care services over the next decade – but is the sector ready?
That was the central question explored at the recent Westpac Leading Conversations lunch in Melbourne, hosted by Westpac and DCM Group.
The event brought together a panel of sector leaders, including:
- Sandra Hills OAM, CEO of Benetas
- Matthew Filocamo, Group CEO of For Purpose Aged Care Australia
- Faye Spiteri OAM, CEO of Fronditha Care
- Caroline Lee, CEO of Leecare
- Brian Wong, Executive Manager – Health, Westpac
The discussion was facilitated by Chris Baynes, CEO of DCM Group, alongside DCM Institute Executive Director James Wiltshire.
The aim was clear: to get leaders talking about change and what transformation will be required to meet the Baby Boomer wave. DCM Group is advocating for Plan T – Transformation, a sector-wide shift where leaders identify bottlenecks, address inefficiencies, and share solutions that can be scaled across the industry.
The first video from the session is now available to watch - see above, with further highlights to be released in the coming weeks.
