Best Care Week this year will run from 8-10 November 2023, a short week due to the Melbourne Cup Day public holiday on Tuesday. The Best Care Governance and Support team will be out and about, showcasing resources regarding accreditation, improvement and quality systems utilised across our organisation to support the provision of Best Care.

It is a great opportunity to chat to the Best Care team and tell us ‘What Best Care means to you’ and have all your Best Care questions answered.

Best Care Week will conclude on Friday with the announcement of the Best Care Awards. These awards recognise teams and individuals who have led initiatives that improve how we provide Best Care – safe, person-centred, right and coordinated care.

See below for the full program of events.
