Ageing Disgracefully!
Barrie Elvish, the esteemed CEO of AusActive, will deliver the closing session at the Healthy Ageing Summit. The last thirteen years of our lives present older Australians with two simple choices; wait for death or live life to the max. The choice we make is heavily influenced, but not necessarily determined, by what we do in the preceding seventy years. Barrie will share relevant statistics, research findings, and his personal experiences as he navigates his way through life’s last stages. As individuals, we face a crossroad where our past decisions, lifestyle, and mindset converge with the inevitability of aging. Barrie's insights illuminate pathways for embracing vitality, purpose, and joy even amidst the challenges of growing older.
