Join us for an innovative event exploring significant changes to the older adult immunisation schedule in 2026 and what they mean for Residential Aged Care Homes (RACHs).

Explore the latest policy updates on recommended vaccines including influenza, COVID-19, RSV, shingles and pneumococcal, and the vital role of immunisation in supporting healthy ageing and protecting aged care residents from serious illness. This session will highlight how Residential Aged Care Homes can:

• support healthy ageing for older adults
• protect aged care residents from vaccine-preventable diseases
• minimising avoidable hospitalisations while maintaining independence and quality of life.
• strengthen vaccination programs to reduce hospitalisations, improve resident wellbeing, and meet Aged Care Quality Standards through effective systems, multidisciplinary collaboration, and evidence-based care.

Importantly, this event offers opportunity to strengthen collaboration between GP clinics, pharmacists, and RACH teams, helping you deliver more coordinated and efficient care.

Who should attend?

Aged care nurses and professionals, pharmacists and GPs who are passionate about improving vaccination coverage and supporting healthier ageing outcomes.
