The formulation of this North West Ageing and Aged Care Strategy is a result of a joint initiative by RDA Pilbara and RDA Kimberley. This Strategy has adopted the following Strategic Vision Statement: ‘Developing the North West as a region where older people can confidently choose to age well, safely and in place’.

This event will be formally launched by the Hon. Ken Wyatt AM, MP, Federal Member for Hasluck and Federal Minister for Aged Care and Indigenous Health.

The Strategy has identified four Desired Future Outcomes: 

1. Age-friendly communities that allow all older people in the North West Region to age well, safely and in place.
2. Sufficient range of affordable and appropriate aged housing options in communities across the North West Region.
3. Accessible, relevant and culturally appropriate community and home based care supports that allow older people residing in the North West Region to live independently for as long as possible.
4. Quality and culturally relevant residential aged care facilities throughout the North West Region that allow older people to stay connected to community and age safely with dignity.
