2013 AAG & ACS Rural Conference - "living and belonging"

2013 AAG & ACS Rural Conference - "living and belonging"

 

The Australian Association of Gerontology (Hunter / NSW Division) in partnership with Aged & Community Services Association of NSW & ACT Inc, the University of Newcastle Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health Orange, and Research Centre for Gender, Health and Ageing are hosting the 2013 Rural Conference at the Ex-Services Club in Orange, NSW on Thursday 21 and Friday 22 March, 2013.


CALLING FOR PAPERS (Closing date November 16, 2012)

The conference will be of interest to health and aged care practitioners, researchers, policy makers and planners, older people and anyone interested in current issues in ageing and aged care.

This year’s theme is “living and belonging”.

Australians living in regional and remote areas can experience poorer health than people living in larger urban areas. Issues of geographic isolation and dispersed communities can result in reduced access to services and vulnerability to environmental change. The good news is however, people in rural areas often enjoy very high levels of social connectedness. 

The availability and sustainability of health and social services is important for all. With older people often representing a higher proportion of the population in rural communities, access to social networks and required support agencies can assist wellbeing, feelings of belonging and an enjoyable quality of life.
