Australians are living longer than ever and want to stay healthy and active for as long as we can. This hub will host projects and resources developed by members and friends of the Pathwys to Healthy Ageing Network.
We are working on a Digital Content & Forums project with U3A Australia / U3A Online. The first materials were the healthy ageing podcasts with segments talking to experts and hearing stories from everyday Australians, summaries of content.
We are now adding classes for facilitators, Cooking for Healthy Living class, a light exercise video and much more. These resources can be accessed via U3A networks (University of the Third Age), a forum where you can connect, and occasionally updates from key organisations like COTA Australia and myAgedCare.

It is a project of RMIT University's Pathways to Healthy Ageing Network in collaboration with U3A Australia, Northern Health and other partners. Funding has been provided by the auDA Foundation Community Grant scheme and internal RMIT seed funding.
And mostly, we encourage you to explore in-person Healthy Aging Hubs that are sponsored by local health networks.
