Elderly Advocacy — Monthly Summit
Details
Growing old should be a time of dignity, connection and care. Yet across Australia, thousands of elderly people face their later years in isolation, neglect and vulnerability — often without the voice or the means to ask for what they need.
This monthly summit brings together charities, supporters, volunteers and donors who believe every older Australian deserves to be seen, valued and cared for. Together we take stock of where the movement is, hear from the organisations doing the hard work, and find meaningful ways to help.
Whether you have time, money, skills or simply a caring heart — there is a place for you here.
Join us every [3rd Wednesday] of the month online.
