Infection prevention is particularly important for older Australians. As we age, our immune systems can become less effective, and existing health conditions can increase the risk of serious complications from infections.

Infections that may be manageable for some can have a significant impact on an older person’s health, independence, quality of life and recovery.

Haemophilia is a lifelong disorder, and its impact can continue to change as people grow older.

As we age, managing haemophilia can become more complex. Joint health, mobility, falls prevention, other health conditions and the effects of previous bleeds can all influence a person’s wellbeing and independence.

Australia’s oldest man, Ken Weeks, has celebrated his 113th birthday with a vintage car trip around Grafton, revisiting places from his childhood.

Now living at Whiddon Residential Care, Ken continues to do as much for himself as possible, including organising his bed, choosing his clothes and completing daily exercises.

With Australia’s centenarian population continuing to grow, stories like Ken’s offer a powerful insight into the lives, experiences and resilience of our oldest Australians.

International Coffee Day: More Than Just a Cup of Coffee

For older Australians, maintaining friendships can become increasingly important as life changes. Retirement, moving home, losing a partner or changes in mobility can sometimes make it harder to stay socially connected.

So this International Coffee Day, why not pick up the phone, send a message or invite a friend or an older relative out for coffee?

(Source: TechCrunch)

The Australian Government is investigating whether an OpenAI AI agent broke the law after gaining unauthorised access to a Services Australia Medicare statistics portal in June. The agent, operating during an internal OpenAI evaluation, allegedly accessed both public and non-public files after reportedly finding ways around access blocks. Authorities say the information involved aggregated health statistics and no individual medical data is currently believed to have been accessed.

Indoor plants can bring much more than a splash of green to our homes.

For older Australians, caring for an indoor plant can provide a simple opportunity to connect with nature, create a gentle daily routine, and bring a sense of purpose and achievement into everyday life.

Research and experiences from Australian retirement communities highlight the potential wellbeing benefits of indoor plants, including creating a calming environment, supporting a sense of connection and providing opportunities for social interaction.

Tasmania Opens Public Land for New Aged Care Homes

The Tasmanian Government is offering 13 public greenfield sites across the state to private aged care providers, with the aim of delivering three new facilities across the north, north-west and south. The initiative comes as around 100 patients remain in Tasmanian hospitals each day while waiting for an aged care or NDIS placement, including some who have been medically fit for discharge for months. With a particular focus on increasing memory support capacity, the proposed developments could help improve access to care closer to home while easing pressure on Tasmania’s hospital system. Expressions of interest open on 26 September and close on 6 November.

Stand Up To Cancer Day is an opportunity to recognise the unique impact cancer can have on older people and to advocate for care that looks beyond the diagnosis.

Good cancer care for older Australians should consider the whole person. Their health, independence, relationships, goals and what matters most to them.
