Ageism is bad for your health. Research shows people with negative perceptions of ageing have poorer health outcomes as they get older. On Ageism Awareness Day today, we are sharing stories of real role models of positive ageing - because having great role models is the beginning of shifting ideas about ageing and helping create better outcomes for all Australians. Join the conversation - visit our page and share your positive ageing role models.

It’s about living a full, happy and healthy life as we grow older. Positive ageing is staying connected to the people we love, enjoying the activities that bring us joy, and looking forward to the experiences we’re yet to try.

Is positive ageing possible? Increasingly, research and lived experience say yes – and the sources of that positivity are different for different people. Even more importantly, positive ageing is contagious – the positive (or negative) attitudes we hold about growing older have a real impact on our own wellbeing and on those around us.
In advance of the International Day of Older Persons on 1 October, we’re asking people to complete this quick positive ageing survey, share your own insights and join the positive ageing conversation.
We look forward to sharing your insights along with perspectives from some inspiring clients and residents over the next month.

Our Thoughts Are With Nepal

Our residents came together to express their heartfelt condolences following the recent tragedy in Nepal. A beautiful large card was prepared and signed by many residents, sharing their thoughts, prayers and support with those affected and their families. We were also grateful to welcome Glenda and Anne from St Mark’s Anglican Parish, who brought small prayer tokens, chocolates and a sympathy card. Their thoughtful gesture, together with the kindness of our residents, was deeply appreciated during this difficult time.
