Demographic and economic forces and technology advances will continue to see resources channeled into research and applications of information technology to support healthy ageing and aged care services.

The focus of the 2010 conference will be the advancement in informatics research and application to support different types of aged care services, the integration of healthcare services across the continuum of care and health reform.

The conference will have a busy program of plenary speakers, presentations, panel discussions and workshops on local, state, national and international experiences, programs and research. It will highlight the advances made in the field, 'where are we at', 'what is needed' and 'where are we going'.
