    #175 Panel 3 : Families Lose Trust in the Mental Health System |National Care Sector Conference 2026

    Panel 3: National Care Sectors Conference: NDIS, Aged Care & Childcare What happens when seeking mental health care becomes a struggle of its own? This panel explores mental health services in Australia, safeguarding, continuity of care, and why trust requires more than compliance. Sharon shares her family’s experience of navigating fragmented services while seeking support for her daughter, including seeing at least 30 psychiatrists over five years and waiting for an integrated care model. Alongside David, she discusses how organisations can move beyond policies and audits toward accountable, compassionate, person-centred care. In this conversation: • Barriers to accessing integrated mental health care • The impact of repeatedly retelling difficult experiences • Trust, relationships, and continuity of care • Safeguarding across mental health, disability, aged care, and child protection • Why organisational culture and leadership matter • Accountability versus a compliance-only approach • Co-design with people who have lived and living experience • Peer support and alternatives to emergency departments • Early intervention, prevention, and reducing stigma • Technology that gives frontline workers more time for direct care “We need to have a relational approach to all care.” The discussion brings together personal experience and organisational perspectives to ask a central question: how do we build services where people feel safe, heard, and supported? Whether you’re a family carer, mental health advocate, support worker, healthcare leader, or policymaker, this panel offers perspectives on putting human connection at the heart of quality care. What would make the biggest difference to trust in care services? Share your thoughts in the comments if you feel comfortable.

    #172 Panel-5 IS AI TRAINING ON STOLEN ART? | AI Summit 2026

    AI is changing the creative industry, but who owns the work that makes AI possible? In this conversation, we explore generative AI, copyright, data sovereignty, Australian artists, and the growing concerns about creative work being used to train AI without consent or fair payment. We also discuss the opportunities AI brings to music, art, research, and innovation, and why transparency matters when creative content is AI-generated. The future of AI should not come at the cost of human creativity. Technology can open incredible doors, but artists deserve recognition, choice, and fair compensation for their work. The question is simple: can we embrace AI innovation while protecting the people whose creativity powers it?

    #170 Nathan Shanks: The Hidden Cost of Building More Homes

    Is building more homes enough to solve Australia’s housing crisis? This conversation explores housing supply, council rates, infrastructure funding, and why growing communities need more than houses. Nathan shares his perspective on the pressures facing local government in South Australia, from councils borrowing money to operate to housing developments putting extra demand on roads, transport, sporting facilities, and community services. “It’s like using your credit card to pay your mortgage. Obviously that’s not sustainable.” Drawing on his experience in construction and council leadership, Nathan discusses: • Australia’s housing crisis and the challenges of housing growth • Council finances, residential rates, and infrastructure funding • Higher-density housing versus urban sprawl • Why jobs, parks, and sporting facilities matter in new developments • Protecting Gawler’s heritage while planning for growth • Construction costs and supply chain delays • How local, state, and federal governments can work together • Leadership that puts community outcomes ahead of personal credit From a frustrated builder to a council leader, Nathan also reflects on the decision to stop complaining about the system and help change it.
