The highly positive feedback from delegates on the excellent 2015 program encouraged the early return of this trip in 2016.
“If I was talking to a group of aged care executives thinking about overseas study travel, I would say pick SAGE, no one else does it as well. I would also say that every aged care and retirement living CEO needs to do at least one SAGE study tour. It’s money well spent, it’s a good investment. The tour organiser Judy Martin is so good at what she does, she is talented with great connections and when you do a tour you can see the work that has gone into the focus and organisation and I really appreciate that.”
