About this webinar

Age is often used as a shortcut for decision-making in health and social services, limiting access to care and support. Age-based assumptions can shape pension entitlements, eligibility for disability supports, Home Care packages, and aged care services - reinforcing inequality and restricting choice.

This webinar will explore how age is used as a proxy in key service sectors such as housing, disability, and community care, and the consequences this has for equity. Attendees will hear from experts and those with lived experience about the impacts of age-based policies and learn strategies to challenge ageism and support fairer, more inclusive systems.
