MHAC26
Clinical Care in Aged Care Conference
October 28 + 29, 2026
Mental distress and mental health conditions are common in late life (Dijk and Mierau 2023). The challenge for aged, community, health & acute care services is to ensure that they are responding to this reality in a person-centered, proactive, evidence based & strategic manner. A diverse range of health professionals are the leaders of this vital work - it is for these professionals that this conference is designed. As always, we welcome delegates who are ready to be inspired and challenged - those eager to listen, engage, debate, share solutions and learn, all with the shared goal of improving the mental health of older people.
​
We invite speakers interested in presenting at the MHAC Conference to express their interest below.
