Ageing Well Forum: Where Will You Call Home in Your Later Years?

Join Nicolette Boele MP, the Ageing Well Advisory Group, and industry experts for an informative session on exploring three key aspects of ageing and housing:

  1. Independent living arrangements: Choosing suitable, accessible housing that supports independence and how to access and afford it.
  2. In-home support: Understanding the availability and affordability of services that help people remain in their own homes.
  3. Transition to supported care: Planning pathways to assisted or supported living when independent living is no longer viable.

Morning tea will be provided followed by a in conversation of lived experiences from the Ageing Well Advisory Group.
