The first day of Queensland Seniors Week, Saturday 15 August, is being dubbed ‘a Day of Solidarity between Generations’, especially fitting given the need for us to remain connected and look out for each other.
COTA Queensland has called on the Queensland Government to remember older tenants, jobseekers, and regional patients travelling to medical appointments, in the lead up to the 2013-14 State Budget.
Today most Queenslanders can expect to live into their eighties and some beyond. Longer life provides the opportunity to reconsider not only what older age might be but how our whole lives might unfold.
