Ageing Well from Primary Care to Social Inclusion
📆 Tuesday, 23 June 2026 | 🕑 2:00 to 3:30PM AEST | 💻 via Zoom

Join us for a unique, cross-sector conversation on the full continuum of ageing well, from primary care through to meaningful social inclusion.

This third episode of the AAG Conversations Issues that Matter series will consider how primary care, intergenerational practice, and spiritual care can integrate to support older people not just to live longer, but to truly age well, with dignity, purpose, and connection.

Facilitated by immediate Past President of AAG, Dr Claudia Meyer, the online panel discussion brings together experts from leading organisations shaping the future of ageing, including:

• Anneke Fitzgerald, founder and Chair, Australian Institute for Intergenerational Practice (AIIP) and 2026 Gold Coast Senior Australian of the Year
• Rachael Wass, Chief Executive Officer, Meaningful Ageing Australia
• Jessica Morgan, Programs and Partnerships Manager, Geriatric Care Australia
