SPONSOR & EXHIBITOR BRIEFING NOTES

WELCOMEIt is my pleasure on behalf of the Board of Directors of Catholic Health Australia (CHA), to invite you to invest in the

future of the Catholic health and aged care sector by supporting the Catholic Health Australia National Conference to

be held at the Sheraton on the Park in Sydney from  29­30 August 2016. The Conference opens with a Welcome

Reception on the evening of 29 August, followed by two full days of conferencing on 30 & 31 August.

The theme of our Conference for 2016 is The Difference We Make, and aims to put into focus the strong tradition of

Catholic health and aged care provision in Australia, highlight and perhaps challenge the notion that Catholic care

offers more than other care providers, and stimulate higher­level strategic thought about how Catholic care providers

can bring greater innovation ­ on all fronts ­ to the provision of health, aged and community care in Australia, now

and into the future.  

Sponsor support is an essential component to the success of our National Conference as well as to the promotion of

the health and aged care sector in Australia. We value our relationships and are dedicated to providing quality

service delivery, communicating often with members and sponsors, improving operations, and exploring new ideas

and opportunities to work together.

The Conference Trade Show is a perfect opportunity to generate new leads, get re­acquainted with clients and

provide invaluable partnering and networking opportunities.  We encourage sponsors to take advantage of new and

increased marketing and social media to extend opportunities during the Conference to maximise exposure for your

products and services.

Any inquiries with regards to the sponsorship packages outlined in this brochure may be directed to Angela Lowe,

Meeting & Events Manager, at: angelal@cha.org.au or phone: 0410 539 421

I look forward to welcoming you to the 2016 CHA National Conference in Sydney!
