Our Facilitators


Leaders in aged care education, committed to sharing knowledge that makes a difference.

At Age Concern, we believe that the quality of education is only as strong as the people who deliver it. That’s why our facilitators are not just educators — they are recognised leaders, practitioners, and researchers in the fields of aged care, nursing, and allied health.

Knowledge That Lasts

Pioneering Aged Care Education

Drawing on decades of hands-on experience and academic excellence, our team includes highly respected professionals who are nationally and internationally renowned. Many of our facilitators have published widely, contributed to ground-breaking research, and continue to influence best practice across Australia and beyond.

Trusted Voices in Practice and Research

What sets them apart is not just their expertise, but their ability to present the latest knowledge in a practical, engaging way. Each facilitator is deeply committed to improving outcomes for older adults and supporting nurses, health professionals, and organisations with evidence-based, real-world learning.

Dedicated to Lifelong Learning

Our facilitators are passionate about fostering a culture of continuous growth. Many not only teach but also actively mentor, publish, and present at conferences, ensuring their knowledge remains current and impactful. By sharing their expertise, they inspire health professionals to keep learning, adapting, and excelling throughout their careers.
