One of the key things older people want is to be heard. In a new report “What Do Older People Want from their Healthcare?” NARI asked older Victorians what they want to improve their health and wellbeing, and how their priorities change. Read: bit.ly/3PRPCYr

This is a story about a policy issue that’s not exactly high-profile or glamorous, but that helps explain why we’re going to struggle to get a better aged-care system for a long time. Learn more: themandarin.com.au/199891-physio-… #choosephysio Crikey

Home-based care for older people should include clinical and personal care and be accessible for those who are frailer. Australia also has a long way to go. Thx for the opportunity to contribute to this editorial Philip Sloane G Paul Eleazer Steve Phillips jamda.com/article/S1525-…

Media, please stop using the term ‘silver tsunami’. It’s condescending and kinda ageist. Using the term conjures a discriminatory stereotype. It’s harmful. A reminder: ageism is discrimination we commit against our future selves.
