Ministerial Roadshows: Better Later Life comes to a town near you

Minister for Seniors Casey Costello is travelling around the country to meet with communities and talk about the new Action Plan for the Government’s Better Later Life Strategy. She will be visiting locations throughout the country – details below.

At these sessions, you’ll hear about the Government’s work to support older people, address cost-of-living pressures, strengthen aged care, and promote independence and participation in later life. Each event will provide the opportunity to connect with local organisations and services supporting wellbeing in your community.

There will be time for conversation, questions, and informal networking with local service providers.
