Beyond Age: Changing the conversation about ageing

Older Victorians reflect upon their lives and different experiences of ageing as part of the Beyond Age project.

For World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2025, Seniors Rights Victoria and COTA Victoria asked members of the community to think about their lives, then and now.

As part of the project, community members attended workshops to couple a photo from their past with one from their present, then providing advice about getting older to their younger self.

Here are the experiences from select participants.
