Longevity and Ageing: How to Choose Your Own Story

Australians are living longer. The whole nation is ageing. But how we age is not just a matter for senior citizens. The latest research shows that making the right lifestyle choices when we are young increases the chances of a healthy old age. And the findings are remarkably consistent. It’s all based around exercise, diet, sleep and social connections.

Join us for a panel discussion featuring three contributing authors of our latest Science Victoria edition, Ageing: Choose Your Own Story, as they discuss the science of longevity and how to age well.

Speakers include:

• Professor Tracy Comans - Director, National Ageing Research Institute

• Dr Amber Mills - Policy and Research Manager, Australian Association of Gerontology

• Dr David Barry - Research Fellow, National Ageing Research Institute

• Bryan Lipmann AM - Founder and initial CEO of Wintringham Specialist Aged Care

Light refreshments will be available.

Please note, the venue is a historical building and has stair-only access, and a flight of stairs up to the theatre room and amenities. If you have any questions or concerns about accessibility, please reach out to the RSV team at rsv@rsv.org.au
