It’s time to LiveUp
LiveUp is a free online healthy ageing guide funded by the Department of Health and Aged Care, designed to give older people in Australia a breadth of opportunities to maintain their independence.
The LiveUp website is packed with the ideas, tools, and guidance to keep you doing the things you already know you love or try something a bit different.
Around half of the common barriers older people face when tackling daily activities can be addressed by finding and using assistive products.
Many of which are available from wellknown retailers, and reliable online stores. On the LiveUp website, people can complete a simple quiz which will provide suggestions for low-cost products to help with everyday living.
Once people enter their postcode, they will find locally relevant activities and groups focused on keeping them physically active and socially connected.
LiveUp also features regularly updated healthy ageing articles written by allied health professionals, designed to provide information and downloadable resources for various age-related issues such as preventing falls, and getting a better night’s sleep.
If you’re ready to throw out tired stereotypes about ageing, try new interests, or take up some old ones, LiveUp can help you get started.
Take the simple quiz for personalised advice about assistive products and tailored suggestions for strength and exercise, and social and cognitive activities, all in your local area or online: www.liveup.org.au
