Key Points:
The "Support at Home" initiative is meant to allow elderly Australians to live independently, but is fraught with structural and financial challenges.
Many elderly Australians are struggling with increased costs and lengthy wait times for care package approvals.
Despite government intentions, the aged care system remains provider-focused and lacks sufficient oversight and accountability.
The privatization trend in aged care is placing profit over provision of services, impacting the quality and accessibility of care.
Active political engagement and local advocacy are crucial for holding politicians accountable and driving reforms in the aged care sector.

She Wasn’t Born Yesterday tackles the many unique issues affecting women who are 40+ fabulous. No topic is too controversial!

She Wasn't Born Yesterday

How do you deal with the ‘pause’? How do you know you’re dating someone with a narcissistic personality disorder? How do you move on from divorce? Behind the scenes of a 40+ influencer and how to reverse the aging process, are just a few topics tackled.

SWBY features Janet Evans, a senior advertising creative and Jenni Woodhouse, a semi retired social worker. A chance interview on radio station Hope 103.2 about the book inspired the podcast.

“So many unique issues affect women of our age, including empty nest syndrome, and nothing’s off limits in SWBY! We really dive headfirst into them, but hopefully with lightness and relevant wit where possible,” Janet commented. “We were incredibly lucky to chat to some very high profile guests, including CEOs of important organisations, who shared their expertise with us and our audience.”
