Event description

Many Australians want to grow older in familiar surroundings, with a sense of connection, comfort and control. And as our population lives longer, and our systems are asked to do more, the question of how and where we age becomes both a personal and collective challenge.

This conversation explores what it takes to support ageing well at home, from housing and neighbourhood design, to community services. It considers how we can create conditions that allow people to live safely, independently and with dignity as they grow older.

The experts
  • Brigid Wilkinson, CEO of Council on the Ageing Tasmania

  • Stephen Geason, Director, Cykel Architecture

  • Professor Jason Byrne, Professor of Human Geography and Planning, University of Tasmania
