Meals on Wheels National Conference 2026
“Stronger Together”
27–29 May 2026

Charlotte and Erin attended the three-day Meals on Wheels Australia National Conference 2026, held under the theme “Stronger Together.”

The conference brought together Meals on Wheels representatives, industry leaders, community organisations, and service providers from across Australia to share ideas, experiences, and innovative approaches to supporting communities.

Throughout the conference, Charlotte and Erin attended a range of inspiring guest speaker presentations, informative workshops, and the trade exhibition, which showcased new products, services, and technologies relevant to the aged care and community services sector.

Key topics included:

* Building stronger communities through collaboration
* Innovation in aged care and support services
* Volunteer engagement and workforce sustainability
* Future challenges and opportunities within the sector
* Enhancing service delivery and client outcomes

The conference provided valuable networking opportunities and practical insights that can be shared and implemented to strengthen local service delivery and support ongoing community wellbeing.

The experience reinforced the importance of working together, sharing knowledge, and embracing innovation to ensure Meals on Wheels continues to meet the needs of communities now and into the future.
