Ageism continues to restrict the inclusion, opportunities and equality of older Australians in our society.

It’s up to every Australian to fight this discrimination in all spheres of life. Pleased to sign @EveryAGE pledge to speak out and take action.

LISTEN: Only about 1/4 #Australians report getting 8+ hours of sleep. And in pre-industrial times, it was seen as normal to wake for a few hours in the middle of the night and chat or work. #TrustMe https://t.co/jO6iGKvg9e

Neighborhood audits and photos flowing in from our senior citizen scientists - they are providing us with fantastic data on their #publicspaces and #greenspaces. #citizenscience has so much to offer about good neighbourhood design!

So important to design cities with opportunities to connect with nature - it is where most of us live day to day!

[The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @ConversationEDU]

The conservation and health benefits of feeling a connection with nature point to the need for people to experience nature as they find it in the city, rather than only out in natural areas https://t.co/pcEK8NQ3S4

@ConversationEDU What is the gender breakdown for this figure?

It is so important to be able to build the time and cost of this collaborative approach into research - let's hope funders see the value of it too.

[Prof Evonne Miller @evonnephd]

Actively engaging older people in projects - as co-researchers and key stakeholders on advisory boards - is critical.
But as @Stephen_Neville & @vwstclair note, challenges
include difficult relationships, power imbalances, costs of time & money & competing agendas #aagconf18

What do we need our aged care workforce to look like in 10 or 20 years time? #ministerwyatt

[Helen Barrie @dr_feist]

#ministerwyatt keen to see a diversity framework embedded into Australia's aged care system #naca

[Helen Barrie @dr_feist]

Can we think outside the square, while remaining fiscally responsible, about new models of aged care #ministerwyatt
