MEALS THAT MATTER: TRANSFORMING FOODSERVICE IN AGED CARE

 

PLACES LIMITED: SECURE YOUR SPOT

 

Join Australia’s only dedicated foodservice forum for aged care professionals and discover how better food, smarter kitchens, and stronger teams are transforming residential care and creating positive, dignified mealtime experiences.

The Aged Care Catering Summit 2026 is a full-day, theatre-style conference delivering practical insights and real-world strategies for everyone involved in aged care dining – from foodservice managers and chefs to dietitians and executive leaders.

With rising compliance pressures, a growing home care sector, shifting resident expectations, and ongoing workforce challenges, this is your chance to explore both the challenges and solutions, learn what’s working, and walk away with actionable ideas you can put into practice immediately – whether in facilities or for older Australians receiving care at home.
