This submission outlines proposals that can be included in the 2022-23 state budget to assist older people to age well. Prioritising measures to support healthy and active ageing will offer a significant return on investment. It will reduce expenditure in other areas such as health and community care and maximise opportunities for older people to contribute to the community and economy. This focus will become increasingly critical as our population continues to age.
