Improving with Age - Our Ageing Plan for South Australia
Office for the Ageing, Government of South Australia
Government of South Australia
South Australia has the greatest proportion of people aged over 65 years in Australia. This is expected to increase over time. The ageing of our population is an opportunity for South Australia to be a leader in policy making and tackle real issues for older people, while benefiting the whole community. OFTA has recently developed Improving with Age: Our Ageing Plan for South Australia.
The Ageing Plan recognises that the issues of old age must not be marginalised but be an integral part of all our policies and programs to build upon our vibrant and prosperous state. As well, the Ageing Plan acknowledges the imporant and vital role older South Australians make to our state through their continuing contributions to society.
