Margaret Bennett, chief executive of Northeast Health Wangaratta, part of the age-friendly rural communities initiative, said many people would live 20 years beyond retirement age.
“To ensure those years are productive, healthy and full of purpose, the community, all the services, government and business, all need to work together,” she said.
The Age-Friendly Northeast Victoria housing forum will be held on Thursday 25 October, 9.30am to 11.30am, at Quercus, 30 Ford Street, Beechworth. Book via eventbrite.com.au.
