Public and private investment in support systems has allowed older Australians to continue to lead fulfiling and often independent lives.

This special publication outlines some of the services in your area that can help you live independently.

There are guides to aged-care facilities and retirement villages for those who have made the decision to downsize and live in a community where appropriate resources are close by.

Plus there's some financial advice from our resident expert on money matter, Noel Whittaker.

Enjoy the read and enjoy a prosperous and fun post-work life.
