Guest Speaker
 
 
Michael Goldsworthy
 
Aged Care Today, Aged Care and Health Care Tomorrow… Where customer choice and market forces rule
 
Michael Goldsworthy is widely known throughout Australia for assisting boards, chief executive officers and executive/senior management teams of not for profits in governance, strategy, amalgamations, mergers and partnerships.
 
Over the last 26 years Michael has worked with over 6,000 community businesses (not for profits) throughout Australia, working within a framework of transformational change, strategic planning and project management.  During this time he has also undertaken 258 amalgamations and mergers.  
Michael spoke on the current and emerging/future big picture of the human services industry and the challenges facing leadership teams (boards, chief executive officers and executive/senior management teams).
 
He remarked on the paradigm shift from a welfare to a market  framework; the need for people and organisations to change in response and the opportunities for new services and products.  He observed that the major growth was in the home care sector with more people aging in place.  Residential care was growing less in absolute numbers and moving more to a sub acute health care service.  The opportunity in this sector is to start providing aged care allied health and medical services.
 
Not for profit providers will need to adapt to these changes and innovate to compete with the growing private , for profit providers.
 
 

THE WINE EVENT OF THE YEAR 16th APRIL 2016: HURRY SOME SPACES STILL AVAILABLE

 
Craft Beer and Fine Wine Event run by the Rotary Club of Central Melbourne Sunrise to meet our commitments for its school projects in Laos to be held at
 
Henry Street Brewhouse, Unit 5, 38 Barrett Street, Kensington. [https://henrystbrewhouse.com.au/].
 
On Saturday 16th April 2016 commencing at 7pm. [See posters below]
 
Born from humble beginnings in the backyard on Henry Street, this tiny artisan microbrewery pride themselves in handcrafting exquisite beers and ales. Created using the finest ingredients, a lot of passion and hard work.
 
As well as the opportunity to taste a range of craft brews, the event will feature an auction of fine wines and a talk by Sandra de Pury, winemaker at Yeringberg Wines, who has also donated some notable wines for the event.
 
Sandra, along with her father Guill de Pury and wife Katherine make wines for the new millennium from the low-yielding vines re-established in the heart of what was one of the most famous vineyards of the 19th century. In the riper years, the red wines have a velvety generosity of flavour rarely encountered, while never losing varietal character; the long-lived Marsanne Roussanne takes students of history back to Yeringberg’s fame in the 19th century. They export to the US, Switzerland, Hong Kong and China.
 
RCCMS members have raided their cellars to present a range of interesting wines for the special silent auction and the highlight auction on the evening. 
 
Attendance is strictly limited to 40 people.  Finger-food and vouchers for tastings or wine, beer and soft drink by the glass are included in the ticket price OF $65. Further drinks can be purchased at the bar.
 
Also a lucky door prize will be awarded at no cost.
 
If you cannot attend or miss out on a ticket, you can still participate by making an advance bid for the auction items from the list to be circulated before the event.
 
The Laos school projects run by RCCMS refurbish classrooms and toilets at village schools in Laos, near Luang Prabang. The Laotian people have a strong desire for education but limited resources and RCCMS with your help is working to address this issue.
