Put it in your diaries! The 2009 Aged Care Informatics Symposium will be an important opportunity for health professionals, educators, researchers, informaticians, government and industry to share their knowledge, network with peers and be part of the movement to develop and realise a Vision for Aged Care Informatics for Australia and the Region.

'Developing & Realising a Vision for Aged Care Informatics for Australia and the Region'
The theme of the 2009 symposium highlights the recent growth in the field of aged care informatics and a field with a promising future. Demographic and economic forces and technology advances will continue to see resources channeled into research and applications of aged care informatics - which will provide innovative methods to support aged people in their homes and communities and the aged care workforce. Recognition of the importance of aged care informatics by governments, industry, academia and the general public will also serve to advance the area.

Plenary speakers and symposium presentations will centre on the ‘Vision' theme and highlight the advances made in the field, ‘where are we at', ‘what is needed' and ‘where are we going'.

The symposium will have a busy program of plenary speakers, presentations, panel discussions and workshops on local, state, national and international experiences, programs and research.

We invite you to submit an expression of interest briefly describing the presentation, academic paper or industry paper you would like to present.

The 2009 Aged Care Informatics Symposium welcomes all people with an interest in aged care & the application of informatics in the sector to join us for this event.
