Navigating What Matters
Now and Next
A Leadership Summit for Australia's Independent Care & Community Sector
July 20-24, 2026 | Virtual
Five days of honest conversations with leaders from 12 organizations - each sharing multiple perspectives on strategic refounding, building leadership capacity, and staying mission-true during transformation.
AUSTRALIA'S CARE SECTOR AT A CROSSROADS
Every independent care and community organization is navigating:
The care economic crunch demanding strategic refounding
Regulatory transformation requiring rapid adaptation
Workforce challenges threatening sustainability
Board and stakeholder expectations for demonstrable readiness
The 2030s positioning question every CEO
is asking
System complexity is slowing decision-making and execution
Traditional strategic planning isn't enough anymore.
The question isn't just "what should we do?"
It's "how do we refound our organization whilst staying true to our mission?"
HOW YOUR PEERS ARE NAVIGATING IT
This summit brings together 12 organizations, each represented by multiple leaders — CEOs, Board Directors, and senior executives from the same organizations sharing:
How they're approaching strategic refounding (not incremental planning)
How they're building leadership team capacity that scales beyond individual heroics
What difficult choices they're making whilst staying mission-true
How they're positioning for the 2030s with demonstrable capability
Where they're finding clarity in unprecedented complexity
Why multiple perspectives from each organization?
Because strategic transformation looks different from the CEO's desk, the boardroom, and the operations floor. You'll hear how the same challenges are understood and addressed across different roles within each organization.
Not polished presentations. Real conversations about real strategic choices.
