Title: | Issues, challenges and opportunities for rural ageing research | Contributor(s): | Cartwright, C (author); Minichiello, Victor (author); Kendig, H (author) | Publication Date: | 2006 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/10730 | Abstract: | Sea change and tree change reflect the growing number of older persons living or relocating to rural and regional Australia. Yet the emphasis of studies and policy initiatives have very much had a city based emphasis. We know much less about the needs and context of older people living in or relocating to rural and regional communities. This symposium will discuss challenges and opportunities that rural and regional communities present to older people including access to health services, transport, and social cohesion and capital. It will also discuss models of service delivery that are appropriate to support such communities. The symposium aims to develop an agenda relevant to ageing and living in rural and regional Australia. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | AAG 2006: Australian Association of Gerontology Rural Conference: Positive Ageing - Something to Sing About, Tamworth, Australia, 23rd - 24th March, 2006 | Source of Publication: | Australian Association of Gerontology NSW Notes, 2006(Winter), p. 6-6 | Publisher: | Australian Association of Gerontology (AAG) | Place of Publication: | St Kilda, Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 111702 Aged Health Care | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 920599 Specific Population Health (excl.
