  • Understanding anxiety in older adults

    While it's normal for everyone to worry from time to time, persistent anxiety can significantly affect your physical and emotional wellbeing. Some of the stressors that trigger anxiety in older adults are commonly related to ageing, such as: 

    • health issues, 
    • retirement, and 
    • the loss of loved ones. 

    Recognising the signs and understanding what is causing your anxiety is important, as it enables you to find the right support to overcome it.

  • A very special kind of person

    When Weary Dunlop resident Bill Hearn retired at 60, he knew he would miss his work colleagues most of all.

    Throughout his 40-year career at Australia Post, Bill built lifelong friendships and achieved some monumental things.

    As he reflects on the challenges he faced stepping back from his career, he credits these fond memories with energising and propelling him into his ‘third age’ of life.
