About the Forum

StewartBrown presents the nationally recognised Aged Care Finance Forum for FY26. Join over 600 attendees nationwide discussing the financial issues, trends and analysis shaping the Australian Aged Care Sector.

For more than 15 years, the StewartBrown Finance Forum has brought together aged care providers from across the sector including boards, management, finance and operational teams to discuss key challenges, share insights and build sector knowledge.

In a year defined by reform, implementation and financial pressure, this year's program has been carefully curated to make the StewartBrown FY26 Forum one of the most valuable aged care finance events to attend in 2026.

The aged care sector is operating through one of its most significant periods of change, placing increased emphasis on financial sustainability and investability. The reforms introduced on 1 November 2025 are now in effect and are presenting providers with both strategic opportunities and operational challenges.

The StewartBrown Forum will provide detailed modelling and scenario analysis for both Residential Care and Support at Home across a range of key cohorts including region, provider size, resident/client mix, staffing mix, accommodation pricing and occupancy/utilisation.

  • Aged Care Financial Performance Survey (ACFPS) — FY26 results

  • Corporate Administration Survey — FY25 and Dec-25 results
