This year’s Seniors Week (August 17-29) was the biggest ever! Seniors Week is the state’s premier event for older Queenslanders, bringing together people of all ages for a week-long celebration of the achievements and contributions of seniors.
When we focus on the group of older Australians who are not doing so well at the moment, we see numerous challenges related to finances, health, age discrimination and a general lack of trust in Government and the future.
Housing is a key issue, and it has significant implications for many aspects of older people’s lives. Planning ahead is critical. Housing decisions are complex, often have emotional implications and for some older people decisions may be made under stress.
