Breaking the Age Barrier

Transforming age attitudes in health care

Co-hosted by the Australia Human Rights Commission and the NSW Nurses and Midwives' Association. A workshop for NSWNMA members.

What's age got to do with it?

Join us for an interactive workshop that will examine the assumptions and stereotypes commonly associated with ageing and older people.

Backed by research, this workshop is a must for individuals and organisations who work with older people, or who want to create an engaged and effective workplace

What to expect?

• Engage in self-reflection exercises and small group discussions to explore your own attitudes and beliefs about age
• Develop a deeper understanding of the social and cultural factors that shape these perceptions
• Challenge ageist stereotypes about older people relating to their capacity, health outcomes, needs and wants
• Increase your knowledge and understanding of age beliefs and ageism and increase your skills for developing and implementing age-friendly initiatives in the workplace

A CPD Certificate will be provided to attendees at the end of the seminar.
