This Saturday 1 October is the UN’s International Day of Older Persons celebrating Resilience of Older Persons in a Changing World. Central to celebrating older Australians is acknowledging the ageism that exists in our society, and the impacts of ageism in Australia. Myrtle Cottage supports the work of EveryAge Counts who share our views in building a world where people of all ages are valued and respected and their contributions are acknowledged.
