  • Acknowledgements

    The Victorian Government proudly acknowledges Victorian Aboriginal people as the First Peoples and Traditional Owners and custodians of the land and waters on which we rely.

  • Minister’s foreword

    The Ageing Well Action Plan delivers actions for Victorians from all backgrounds to connect socially and to live healthy, active and purposeful lives as we age.

  • Victoria's seniors

    Victoria's population is ageing. By 2046 more than 2.3 million people will be aged 60 years or older.

  • Ageing well in Victoria

    In the 2020 Ageing well in a changing world report the Commissioner asked what it means to age well, the barriers to ageing well and the opportunities to better support ageing in Victoria.

  • Addressing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic

    The lived experience and voices of older Victorians informed the action plan. While some people reported positive outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic, many barriers to ageing well were magnified.

  • What government will do - Ageing well in Victoria action plan

    To address the priority issues of older people, the government will deliver on this action plan in four priority areas.

  • Next steps

    We will continue to consult with older people and listen to their lived experience through the Commissioner for Senior Victorians and the Senior Victorians Advisory Group (SVAG).
