Nutritious and delicious food isn't just nice to have - it's vital to maintaining our health and wellbeing, especially as we age.

That's why we're holding aged care providers to account for the food they serve.

We’re making sure older people in aged care get the nutritious and appetising food they need and deserve.

It’s with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to former Elder Rights Advocacy President and OPAN chairperson Mary Anne Hunt, who died yesterday after a short illness. Mary Anne was a passionate #advocate for #agedcare #rights and a powerful voice for change.
