Newcastle Yacht Club

80 Hannell Street,

Wickham

An luncheon dedicated to the leaders behind exceptional care.

Leaders in Care is an exclusive complimentary event created to recognise the people leading our aged care communities.

Join us for meaningful conversation, inspiring speakers and the opportunity to connect with others who understand the unique challenges and rewards of leading people in care.

Why Leaders in Industry?

At Pettigrew, we have the privilege of working alongside aged care teams every day.

We see the compassion they bring to families, the responsibility they carry and the difference great leadership can make, not only for residents, but for staff, families and entire communities.

Leaders in Industry is our way of giving something back.

There’s no sales pitch and no expectation. Just an opportunity to bring local leaders together, recognise the work they do and create a space for connection, conversation and inspiration.

Because those who spend so much of their time caring for others deserve to feel supported, valued and inspired too.
