A fresh conversation about ageing
The Re-imagining Ageing Report brings together the voices, insights and lived experience of older Queenslanders to challenge outdated assumptions about ageing and highlight new opportunities for change.
Ageing is not decline. It is contribution, leadership, connection and possibility. Yet ageism continues to shape policy, services and public perception. This report calls for a shift in how ageing is understood, valued and supported across Queensland.
What the Report Explores
The report examines:
- How older people experience ageing in Queensland.
- The impact of ageism on wellbeing and participation.
- The social, economic and community contributions of older Queenslanders.
- Opportunities to build more inclusive, age-friendly systems.
It highlights the importance of lived experience in shaping future policy and challenges decision-makers to think differently about ageing.
Why It Matters
Queensland is ageing rapidly. The decisions made today will shape the experience of ageing for decades to come.
Re-imagining Ageing encourages governments, service providers and communities to move beyond stereotypes and towards evidence-informed, inclusive approaches that recognise older people as active participants in society.
