The wait is over — Hello Leaders Mag has arrived
Published on 20 May 2025
Welcome to edition 5 of Hello Leaders, a publication designed for those courageously navigating the complex, rewarding, and ever-evolving landscape of aged care leadership.
This issue arrives at a pivotal moment. With the July 2025 introduction of the new Aged Care Act on the horizon, aged care leaders are poised at the intersection of reform readiness and the relentless pursuit of quality care. The regulatory shifts are significant, presenting us with tremendous opportunities. For providers ready to reimagine governance, culture, and operations, the future shines bright with promise.
In this edition, we explore groundbreaking innovations such as Andromeda‘s AI companion robots alleviating loneliness, delve into the practical realities of new funding models like Support at Home, and highlight leadership behaviours that foster strong teams, from building trust to managing burnout. We also confront the essential — yet often challenging — topics like intimacy, human rights, and emotional connection within residential settings.
At Hello Leaders, our mission is to ask the tough questions, amplify the voices driving change, and challenge the status quo in aged care. We created our print edition because there’s something truly powerful about print. A tangible magazine invites you to slow down, share stories, and engage more deeply — whether it’s passed between colleagues or placed on a coffee table for thoughtful reading.
At the same time, we know that every choice matters. That’s why HelloLeaders is printed using sustainable practices, including recycled paper and eco-friendly production methods, to help reduce our environmental footprint while delivering content that inspires.
To the leaders reading this: your courage, resilience, and commitment are shaping the future of care in Australia. Let this magazine serve as your companion on that journey — a resource brimming with insight, inspiration, and thoughtful provocation.
Change is here. It’s time to lead, not just manage.
