Older Australians need a comprehensive plan from the Australian Government, demonstrating that all areas of Government are thinking and acting in a coordinated fashion to improve the lives of mature age and older Australians.
In the COVID-19 response Budget in October, we urge the Federal Government to prioritise the following areas:Pensions and Income Support
Future Retirement Income Policy
Aged Care Reform
Employment of older Australians
Housing
A whole-of-Government approach to an Ageing Australia
Participants from around Australia speak about what is important to them as they age and what it feels like to be getting older. Topics include changing relationships, finances, life decisions, health and illness.
