Addressing the big issues of the retirement industry
Backed by national and international experience, the Summit positions the retirement living sector as Australia’s best response to our greatest demographic challenge, an ageing population. Age-friendly communities and people-centered services enable independence and social participation, while optimising happiness, health and wellbeing. Adequacy, availability and affordability of housing that meets the needs of older Australians are key ingredients for healthy ageing.
We look forward to welcoming you to The Star, Gold Coast for the National Retirement Living Summit from 26-28 June 2024.
