We’re participating in the #Agewithrights global rally 3 March 2022 with a roundtable conversation about rights, ageism, and the need for supporting a UN Convention on the Rights of Older Persons.

You’ll hear directly from Caroline Carroll, Robin Vote, Natalie Clements, and Kathy Mansfield members of our National Older Persons Reference Group, who each have their own stories and views to share.

Read more about our other campaign actions – including jointly written letters with EveryAge Counts to key Ministers urging the Australian Government to support the development of a UN Convention.
