NDIS and Aged Care Leadership Summit Sydney ; Finance and Compliance

The 2026 National Care Leaders’ Finance & Compliance in NDIS, SIL and Aged Care Summit is a high-level executive forum designed to equip senior leaders with the financial, legal, workforce, and governance intelligence required to operate sustainably in an increasingly regulated and scrutinised care environment.

As NDIS and aged care reforms accelerate in 2026, providers are navigating intensified regulatory oversight, workforce cost pressures, funding integrity measures, and rising expectations around governance, transparency, and risk management.

This Summit responds directly to those challenges, bringing together sector leaders, financial experts, legal specialists, and compliance authorities to provide practical, defensible, and future-focused guidance.

​The Sydney Summit forms part of a national leadership series, delivering consistent, high-quality insights across Australia while addressing jurisdictional nuances and emerging national trends. The program is structured to move from strategic foundations through to operational execution, enabling leaders to strengthen financial resilience, compliance confidence, and organisational sustainability.

Summit Focus

The 2026 program is deliberately comprehensive, addressing the full spectrum of financial and compliance risk across NDIS and aged care operations.

Key themes include:

• Future-ready organisational structures for tax efficiency, asset protection, and risk segregation
• Employer obligations and workforce compliance in an environment of heightened Fair Work and regulator scrutiny
• SCHADS Award complexity in 2026, including cost pressures, rostering risk, and underpayment exposure
• Financial and operational reporting to support governance, decision-making, and early risk detection
• NDIS integrity and safeguarding, with a focus on prevention, early intervention, and audit readiness
• Legal and regulatory updates impacting workforce, contracts, and compliance obligations
• Mergers, acquisitions, and exits, including valuation, due diligence, and transition risk
• Transitioning participants from NDIS to aged care, managing funding, processes, and continuity of care

​The agenda is designed to be practical and applied, moving beyond theory to address real-world challenges leaders are facing across finance, compliance, workforce governance, and service sustainability.

Why this Summit matters in 2026;
