The end of financial year is just around the corner and if you have professional development funds left to use STAND UP, SPEAK OUT is a great way to put them to work.

Taking place from 27–29 July on the Gold Coast, this is Australia's only national conference focused on the abuse of older people. It's three days of conversation, connection and shared commitment to improving outcomes for older Australians and every time, it brings together some of the most dedicated people working in this space.

If you've been thinking about registering, now's a good moment to make it happen.
