The 2020 is now open and will run until the end of August 2008. The purpose of the 2020 is to look for and explore big ideas that will support Australia’s growing population of carers and their families. The summit will run during the month of August, to find a ‘big new idea’ for carer and family issues, along the lines of the Rudd Government’s 2020 Summit in April. Go to http://www.carers2020.com.au/index.html to view the site and participate in the discussion..
You’ll see that comments are invited on each section. Senator Helen Coonan has a very good introduction on ‘consumer-directed care’ in her welcome.
This is a good opportunity to get some national debate going. So please contribute and push the debate along
