Positive ageing is about maximising our quality of life as we age, through pre-retirement planning and by maintaining social connections, community participation, lifelong learning and meaningful and enjoyable activity.

Information on community and residential aged care can be accessed at Aged Care Australia.

A useful resource regarding aged care services and goods is the DPS Guide to Aged Care website operated by DPS Publishing.
