Ready, set, SNAP! In partnership with New Idea Magazine, the GCMA is currently promoting an Australia-wide photo competition, with cash prizes to be won. We're seeking images and 'Ageing Well' stories that reflect the fabulous diversity (and reality) of ageing in Australia. Help us to paint a picture that's as vibrant and varied as you are!

Population ageing presents an exciting opportunity for businesses seeking to tap into the ‘Longevity Economy’, which describes the immense economic potential of older consumers across various domains including finance, health, construction, transport, leisure and more. In this column for Dynamic Business, Global Centre for Modern Ageing® Chief Executive Julianne Parkinson outlines how Australian businesses can support and benefit from this lucrative and growing market.

Global Centre for Modern Ageing® CEO Julianne Parkinson shares ‘Lessons in Modern Ageing®’ with Charlotte Newton of Aged Health Magazine (May 2023), discussing the preference of older Australians to age in their own homes, and how emerging technologies will enable new, blended models of care delivery to improve both quality of care, and quality of life for older adults.

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.

The October 2021 edition of Connect showcases thought leadership from some of the world’s foremost experts in the Ageing Well domain, including GCMA Board Directors Dr. John Beard and Prof. Göran Roos.
