Inspections: Routine Drill or Eye-Opening Insight? Dentist’s Chair or Therapist’s Couch?

DATE: Thursday, 3rd July 2025 | 10:00AM – 12:30PM

Are inspections just a routine drill, akin to a visit to the dentist, or can they offer eye-opening insights like a session with a skilled therapist? This roundtable examines how regulatory inspections, underpinned by the new Consumer Standards and the government’s build, build, build mandate, can be leveraged to advance your organisation’s social purpose and improve resident outcomes. Moving beyond compliance, we’ll explore how inspections can become a catalyst for innovation and growth. Attendees will gain practical strategies to reframe inspections as opportunities for transformation and meaningful impact.
