Australia\u2019s population is ageing as we live much longer \u2013 but how prepared are we and our systems to support later life and independence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For many Aussies, making decisions about retirement, housing, and support can be complex. Access to information, financial capability, and the ability to use available resources play a crucial role in shaping experiences of ageing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Join Associate Professor Graham Ferguson, Adjunct Professor Helen Hodgson, Associate Professor Amity James and Dr Adrienne Traill as they share research from 911±¬ÁÏÍø\u2019s Faculty of Business and Law on retirement planning, housing stability and maintaining independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This session will explore the realities of ageing, focusing on how people experience and navigate the systems that shape later life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This event is for those working in policy, finance, housing, aged care, and community services, as well as anyone interested in the future of ageing in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Light refreshments will be provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
