The Truth About Ageing
A community of humans that wish to age well, grow old and make informed decisions. The Truth About Ageing is built on the firm belief that knowledge is the key to empowerment. By being aware of the options available as we age, we can make informed decisions that feel right to us and our loved ones. Kate Helmore is a passionate advocate for elderly Australians - with a Master of Gerontology and 13 years experience in both residential and home care settings, Kate understands the challenges ageing Australians and their families face. Join us as we unpack the aged care sector and answer all your questions along the way!

Happy International Volunteers Day (for the 5th December)!
Today I spend some time discussing the myriad of different volunteer roles available out there and how you could find one that might suit you. Volunteering is more people of all ages - there are infinite ways to give back to your community. Not only are you doing a wonderful deed giving to those less fortunate, but you also give yourself a sense of meaning, purpose and fulfilment.
In today's ep we discuss the Community Visitors Scheme, GoVolunteer.Com.Au & how you can make a difference in your local community!
I encourage us all to take a moment to pause and reflect on the priviledge in our own lives and consider how we might be able to impact someone doing it tough right now.
Sending big love to you all!
