Every week we round up the ageing and senior-care news that matters — new schemes, subsidies, and services — in plain language, with a short "why it matters" for Active Ageing Centre managers, seniors, and families caring for older loved ones at home.
Ageing named as the long-run health challenge, two nursing homes stripped of their licences, a police warning about scams baiting seniors with fake activities, and free vaccinations from age 65.
The longevity economy and a ministerial warning on over-servicing, community nursing moving into homes, assisted-living flats opening up from age 55, and higher Home Caregiving Grant and Silver Support payouts.
Higher retirement and re-employment ages, deeper long-term care subsidies, the 84-sub-region integrated aged-care model, three more Age Well Neighbourhoods, and gerontech gaining ground.
Edufarm runs heritage, craft and active-ageing sessions for Active Ageing Centres and senior groups. Tell us your group and preferred dates and we'll plan a session.
