what was careconnect?

CareConnect was Queensland’s landmark workforce conference, shaping the future of residential care and building hope for the children who rely on it

Trust by 50k+ Clients and Organizations

Brought to you by PeakCare, CareCONNECT was a one-day conference designed to unite Queensland’s residential care workforce under a shared vision building hope for the future - and for the children and young people in care!
This one-day jam packed program offered a mix of keynote speakers, panel discussions, workshop sessions, and self-care activities - all focused on practical tools, authentic voices, and shared experiences.
This landmark event—the first of its kind in Queensland—offered the chance to step back, reconnect with your ‘why’, and walk away with fresh ideas and a renewed sense of purpose.Whether you were looking to build your skills, hear from leaders, relate to lived experiences, connect with colleagues, or simply take time to reflect on your own wellbeing, CareCONNECT has something for you. Spots are limited! We hope you’ll join us for a day that recognises the important work you do as we invite you to help shape the future of care in Queensland.
