"Minister for Ageing, Justine Elliot welcomed the new perspective on housing for older Australians contained in the Moving or staying put: Deciding where to live in later life report released by National Seniors Australia. The National Seniors report found that two in three Australians are moving home between the aged of 55 and 75 due to factors such as the ongoing need to maintain their homes or a decline in their partner’s health.Minister Elliot said: “It is the clear preference of Australians to maintain maximum independence as they grow older.“Older Australians wish to remain in their own homes and in their communities, close to friends and relatives."
