Funding, Compliance and Strategy
Learn how to avoid delivering millions in unfunded care, manage your roster spend, and meet compliance targets with confidence.
In just three months, $14 million worth of care was delivered in Australia without corresponding funding — a staggering figure of unfunded care. And in the quarter before that, aged care providers overspent on rosters by an estimated $117 million.
The message is clear: care minute compliance isn’t just a regulatory issue — it’s a financial one.
Join Mirus Australia for a deep-dive into the care minutes landscape: how changes to AN-ACC are shifting your funding reality, how to avoid costly compliance gaps, and how data can turn risk into opportunity. This session includes practical strategies and real-time insights from our national benchmarking data.
Whether you’re managing a single facility or an entire portfolio, this webinar will help you stay on top of compliance while maximising funding and managing workforce costs.
