We have just published an open letter to the Victorian State Government calling for urgent additional funding to support more financial counsellor roles in Victoria.
NOW is the time to reduce the impacts of the cost-of-living crisis and secure brighter futures for all Victorians.

Unsurprisingly, #olderpeople who enjoy positive intergenerational relationships and interactions with their adult children and grandchildren, bring improved health outcomes.

Learning to respect and value one another is key. https://t.co/HTduLBPC6D

Today is World Senior Citizen's Day. The celebration took place for the first time in 1991. The day aims to increase awareness of issues that affect older people.
