Age Matters tackles homelessness, ageism and social isolation head on. Why? Because disadvantage doesn’t discriminate.
20,000 people over the age of 55 are homeless on any given night.
More than 1 in 4 ageing Australians live in poverty.
Older people who experience ‘extreme loneliness’ are up to 26 percent more likely to die prematurely.
We’re working to change this, and you can help. Support our work or donate online.
Every dollar you donate supports our work to empower older Australians live free from disadvantage.
