Choosing an aged care home for yourself or a loved one is a big decision and knowing that they can provide a high quality of care is critical. So, the introduction of Star Ratings for residential aged care homes in late December 2022 has made it easier for older Australians and their families to choose an aged care home.

Liquid is proud to have assisted the Department of Health and Aged Care, and partners such as the University of Queensland, PwC and Accenture, to design, develop and deliver Star Ratings.   

Luli Adeyemo says what a lot of people are thinking. 

“It’s a question that we shouldn’t have to ask: why is diversity, equity, and inclusion important is like saying, why is it important to have a space that represents society that everyone can feel like they belong?”  

Liquid Interactive’s collaboration with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, video production studio Maitree House, and our co-design partners has been honoured at this year’s TechDiversity Awards. 

The future of higher education and technology is evolving at incredible speeds, and so is our understanding of the new student experience 4.0, reflecting recent trends and technologies.  

Unlocking healthcare innovation: The power of rethinking funding priorities

We invited six experts to challenge the status quo of healthcare funding. Traditional funding models prioritising efficiency and activity are no longer fit for purpose in a rapidly changing healthcare landscape. The panel explored how we might pivot towards human-centred metrics that focus on patient wellbeing and meaningful outcomes.

When we talk about “student experience”, it runs the risk of sounding like a singular, monolithic thing. It's the student experience. It's the student journey. The reality is that there are as many student experiences as there are students.  

So you’re about to graduate and you’ve been asked too many times some variation of, “What are you going to do after uni?” or, if you studied humanities, “So what are you now? What will you be qualified to do?”.  

What does it mean to design services in sensitive areas? Firstly, sensitive is a word that gets used in many contexts. I’m not talking about classified information or people who are easily offended. 

We all experience life differently—what makes something sensitive is whether it has the potential to impact your wellbeing. Approaching this work requires not only empathy, but a deep level of humility and appreciation of the precariousness of life. 

“Every company is a technology company”, is a line often used as shorthand to describe how the digital age has changed business. It doesn’t matter if you build bridges or provide services – you're going to need to grapple with the impact of technology on what you do and how you do it. 

It came to mind during our latest Future Led with Associate Professor Cori Stewart, who is the founder and CEO of the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Hub.

MyCQU, the digital platform for students at CQUniversity, has been honoured with two Good Design Awards at this year’s ceremony, with the jury applauding the seamless user experience.
