SUMMARY:For Purpose Leaders Aged Care Sustainability Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:Join senior leaders for this critical conversation on Aged care sustainability\, pricing pressures\, and way forward\, LIVE streamed nationally\n\n\n\nATTEND Online or In-Person \nThe Aged Care Sustainability Breakfast is a focused policy conversation\, not a broad industry showcase\, bringing together the people shaping and responding to reform: providers\, financial analysts\, peak bodies and government representatives.

SUMMARY:Climate informed energy demand modelling for regional communities
DESCRIPTION:Energy systems operating in regional and remote environments are increasingly affected by rising temperatures\, changing weather patterns and evolving customer energy consumption behaviours. These factors are introducing new challenges for engineers responsible for planning\, forecasting and maintaining reliable electricity networks.\nThis presentation will explore how climate-informed demand and energy forecasting methods can be used to improve planning under uncertain future conditions. Attendees will gain insight into scenario-based forecasting approaches\, the incorporation of climate variables into demand models\, and the role of uncertainty analysis in supporting engineering decision-making. \nDrawing on practical experience from regional Western Australian power systems\, the session will highlight challenges\, lessons learned and considerations for engineers seeking to strengthen system resilience and support long-term climate adaptation planning.
