Australia is an ageing population. As the population ages, the incidence of disability also increases proportionately. Promoting and protecting the rights and dignity of older persons and facilitating their full participation in support services as they age is vital. This means more than just ensuring physical access, even though that is important. It is about developing a culture of inclusion so that people with disability are valued for their contributions. If you're looking to support an ageing family member or work within the residential and community aged care environment, you need to understand  how to manage and support the ageing with disabilities.
