A new Griffith University study found the series instrumental in public recognition of the social and health benefits of intergenerational practice.

One organisation, The Herd, based in the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, has now taken the concept of intergenerational care to a whole new level.

Due to the incredible success of the initiative, The Herd now has a long waiting list of participants eager to join the program.
