The Age-Friendly Victoria initiative
As part of the response, the Age-Friendly Victoria initiative was launched. Age-friendly communities encourage active ageing and optimise opportunities for good health, social and community participation for Victorian seniors. The initiative aims to promote the inclusion of older people and support services, business and community leaders to better plan for the needs of seniors and enhance the quality of life for people as they age.
Creating age-friendly places and services
Organisations, local government, services and community groups have strategies and plans that are age-friendly and include the needs of seniors in their design and delivery of actions to help them age in place and live meaningful lives.
