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 Curtin\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
