The Ageing Well Living Lab brings together Council, community, industry and research partners to explore innovative prevention and early intervention solutions that help older adults remain healthy, connected and independent for longer.
The City of Casey is committed to fostering healthy, safe, inclusive and connected communities, as detailed in our Council Plan 2025-29. Furthermore, this initiative aligns with the key themes of connection, innovation and resilience within the Long-Term Community Vision 2031 and addresses community concerns about our ageing population highlighted in the Shape Your City 2024 engagement and the Challenges and Opportunities Report.
The Ageing Well Living Lab complements other strategies including the Community Access and Wellbeing Strategic Service Plan and the Disability Inclusion Action Plan by supporting older adults to stay healthy, active and independent by promoting healthy lifestyles and improving access to information, services and community support.
Focus areas
The Ageing Well Living Lab will focus on three areas:
- Prevention and Early Intervention: How might we identify signs of declining health, wellbeing or social connection early and connect older adults with support before they reach crisis point?
- Health and Wellbeing: How might we support older adults to maintain and improve their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing as they age?
- Independence and Connection: How might we reduce loneliness and social isolation for older adults by supporting meaningful social connections at every stage of ageing?
