IHACPA 2025: Join us for a look into the future of Australia’s care economy

9 January 2025

We are pleased to announce that the Independent Health and Aged Care Pricing Authority (IHACPA) national conference will be held from 5 to 7 August 2025 in Adelaide, South Australia.

This will be our 11th national conference and will focus on the theme: Integrating Resilience Within the Care Economy and the Role of Pricing.

This dynamic conference will bring together policy makers, researchers, health and aged care industry professionals, providers and consumer groups, to address resilience and sustainability of the growing care sector.

An expert line up of speakers will lead the conversation on reform, innovation, pricing and the opportunities for harmonisation across different sectors, including hospitals, health care, aged care and disability.

You will also hear directly from IHACPA on key aspects of our work program, including the latest methodologies and frameworks for pricing and costing services. Whether you are attending in-person or virtually, you won’t want to miss this event.

Call for abstracts

The conference committee is calling for abstract submissions from the hospital, health care, aged care and disability sectors. This is an excellent platform to showcase research and insights on topics covering:

  • hospital, health care, aged care and disability pricing reform including policy, projects, programs, and research to improve the efficiency and quality of care
  • innovation within a care context relating to efficiencies in care settings using technology, innovative delivery and/or data
  • pricing mechanisms, including pricing and costing case studies and methods, classifications, coding, documentation, and performance benchmarking
  • harmonisation and collaboration, including examples of collaboration between governments, business and community to support sustainability of the sector.

Submissions can be made through the conference portal, which will be open in early 2025.
