Ageing at Home: Research Insights, Challenges and the Path Forward Through Innovation

Ageing-at-Home

Almost 9 in 10 Australians aged 65 and over want to remain in their own home as they age. However, new research from Benetas reveals a significant gap between this aspiration and the practical steps needed to make it a reality. overview

Join InnovAGEING and Benetas for an insightful webinar exploring findings from the Ageing in Place: An Australian Perspective study and the newly developed Ageing in Place Readiness Index (AiPRI). Based on research involving more than 2,250 Australians aged 55 and over, the study highlights critical challenges in preparedness, knowledge of aged care services, technology adoption and future planning.

During this session, we will discuss:
  • Key findings from the Benetas Ageing in Place research
  • The readiness gap facing Australians aged 55–64 and 65+
  • The role of technology, home modifications, and early planning in supporting independence
  • How innovation, technology and new approaches can translate research insights into practical solutions that close the readiness gap.
Whether you work in aged care, health, community services, or are interested in supporting older Australians to live independently for longer, this webinar will provide valuable insights into the future of ageing well at home.
