Intersections: Ageing and Disability

Disability is defined as any limitation, restriction or impairment which restricts everyday activities and has lasted, or is likely to last, for at least six months. It’s estimated one in every six Australians aged 65 years and over are living with a disability, an increase from just over one in every 10 in 2015.

This webinar covers:
