Regardless of our spoken language, geographic location, or lifestyle, we are united in our shared aspiration to live comfortable, connected and fulfilling lives. That’s why, as experts in the Longevity Economy, the Global Centre for Modern Ageing® applies a holistic lens to the ageing phenomenon. Opportunity knocks in the Asia Pacific region, where exciting new products, services and solutions are emerging in response to the region’s rapidly ageing population.

Julianne Parkinson, founding CEO of South Australia’s Global Centre for Modern Ageing® has been named among APAC’s leading changemakers in ageing, receiving the prestigious Ageing Asia Global Ageing Influencer Award 2023.

At the Global Centre for Modern Ageing®, we firmly believe that retaining older Australians in meaningful employment, and encouraging retirees to re-join the workforce with the appropriate levels of support is critical to maintaining our nation’s prosperity and economic productivity, reducing welfare expenditure and increasing self-reliance in retirement.
