A short presentation on what The Ageing Revolution is doing to improve the lives of Ageing Australians. An overview of a 13,000km tour of Australia to listen, connect and inspire. We gathered stories and wisdom and this shows a brief overview of what we have seen and found.

1. LISTEN. CONNECT. INSPIRE

2. WHO ARE WE?

3. Baby Boomers!

4. Our Aim
“The Ageing Revolution wants to
irreversibly change perceptions about
what it is to age by working with
businesses, community organisations,
researchers and community groups to
create transformative change, develop
better services and products and realise
the opportunities that ageing brings.”
