why careconnect?
CareCONNECT was the first of its kind in Queensland, created to bring together residential care workers, sector leaders, and decision-makers in one powerful, purpose-driven space. At a pivotal moment in the child and family sector, this event offered an opportunity to strengthen our systems for the future – together.
