We were delighted to celebrate International Day of Older Persons 2026 with over 250 people who attended our special event, Making the ageing experience better together. Featuring five inspiring speakers and an interactive reflection workshop, the day celebrated the voices, wisdom and lived experiences of older people, challenging stereotypes and inspiring conversations about ageing well in South Australia. 

Today we're pleased to share highlights from that event. 

Thank you to everyone who attended, shared their stories and helped make this year's International Day of Older Persons such a memorable and inspiring event.

With thanks also to our proud sponsors - this event couldn't happen without them!
