Insights from CSIRO: the Outlook for Aged Care in 2021

Exploring how COVID-19 & the Royal Commission will affect decision-making into the future

Aged Care has been in the frontline of the COVID-19 Crisis. The challenge is risk management in an increasingly uncertain public health environment.

Dr. Rob Grenfell will be sharing CSIRO’s knowledge about COVID-19. He will speak on how Aged Care Providers can better prepare policies and plans that manage risk in 2021.  

He will also go over the potential future impacts of the pandemic, and how providers can own and lead the inevitable process of change from the Royal Commission.

In his current role as Director of Health and Biosecurity at CSIRO, Rob is ideally placed to share up to date scientific information about COVID-19 and provide suggestions about how Aged Care Executives can plan and make decisions.
