In October 2025, Tasmanian aged care not-for-profit CBS Tasmania confirmed a breach by the Lynx ransomware group, with client and staff data, including employee records, posted to its dark web leak site. It was another hit on Australian aged care, a sector the Australian Cyber Security Centre confirms is actively targeted alongside hospitals and clinical providers.

Research shows that non-hospital clinical providers, including aged care, experience roughly 10 times as many publicly reported cyberattacks as hospitals.

The sector is under-prepared, over-targeted, and newly criminally liable. The Aged Care Act 2024, in force since 1 November 2025, places cyber failures, governance gaps, and reporting obligations on CEOs and boards, with strengthened Quality Standards, mandatory GPMS reporting, tightened care minute accountability from April 2026, and Support at Home price caps from 1 July 2026.

Would your organisation survive a serious incident, an unannounced audit, or a regulator review?

This on-demand leadership discussion explores the realities of operating under the new Act, covering GPMS reporting, care-minute evidence, ransomware exposure, supply-chain risk, board-level cyber liability, and price-cap pressure. The panel will examine where small to mid-tier providers are falling behind.

Built for CEOs, COOs, CFOs, CIOs, and senior leaders, the session highlights how digital readiness, cyber resilience, and governance must evolve amid lean IT, margin pressure, and escalating threats.
