Building Queensland's Next Generation of Health & Community Care Services

As one of Australia’s largest providers of health, aged care, disability, family and community services, UnitingCare Queensland is playing a leading role in shaping the future of care delivery across the state. At this AICC Boardroom Roundtable, Ben Edwards, Chief Executive Officer of UnitingCare Queensland, will discuss the organisation’s vision for building Queensland’s next generation of health and community care services and the strategic priorities that will guide its future direction.

Drawing on UnitingCare’s new 2026 Strategic Plan, Ben will outline the objectives and rationale underpinning the organisation’s transformation and how it is evolving to meet the growing breadth of stakeholder expectations and increasingly complex care needs. The discussion will also explore how UnitingCare is addressing future workforce requirements, developing the capabilities needed to support sustainable service delivery, and leveraging emerging technologies and infrastructure investment to improve individual wellbeing, strengthen service outcomes and enhance broader community resilience. This roundtable provides a valuable opportunity to gain insights into the trends, challenges and opportunities shaping the future of health and community care in Queensland.
