Thank you, Senator. We also want to support Australians prepare better for their older years. They want access across the key areas of health, different skills and finance. We, too, want to give them the greatest opportunities to remain independent and socially connected as they age. We've introduced a new $23 million program to support sporting and non-government organisations roll out local community-based activities to promote physical activity and to keep older Australians connected to their communities.

Our new $8.2 million Healthy Ageing Campaign celebrates the fact that Australians are living longer and therefore have more choices and opportunities ahead. The campaign encourages Australians aged 45 and over to think about ageing in a positive way. The campaign website longliveyou.gov.au connects older Australians to a range of useful links, and I encourage all older Australians to visit the website. (Time expired)
