Our Vision
Hunter Ageing Alliance (HAA) is a citizen-formed group that is asking Government, businesses and organisations to join them to better focus on the needs of older people.
Age-friendly communities mean that planning takes the needs of older people into account, recognising that older people have the same desire to remain physically, intellectually, and socially active as younger people. This requires environmental adaptation, appropriate housing at all levels of affordability, easy access to information about services and facilities for older people, protection from elder abuse, health care services appropriate to the needs of older people and support for socially isolated people to ensure their physical and psychological well-being.
Our Strategic Direction
Environment
Public spaces, transport, and access for people with disabilities.
Health Services
Particularly the assessment and management of dementia and chronic diseases.
Housing
Social housing, communal housing, and emergency housing.
Social Isolation
Securely identify isolated older people and provide for their physical and psychological well-being.
Aged Care Services
Ageing and aged care services information – ensuring accessibility.
Elder Abuse
Awareness, assessment, and prevention.
