9th Asia / Oceania Congress of Geriatrics and Gerontology - “Ageing well together: Regional perspectives”
Every four years, the Asia / Oceania Region of the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics coordinates a major conference to highlight the latest developments in the area of ageing. In 2011, the Australian Association of Gerontology, in collaboration with the New Zealand Association of Gerontology, is hosting the 9th Asia / Oceania Congress of Geriatrics and Gerontology in Melbourne, Australia, from October 23-27.
The conference theme is “Ageing well together: Regional perspectives”. It integrates the broad perspectives of ageing well from our diverse region, focusing on the key areas of health, function, psychological, social and spiritual well-being. Critically, as these ageing issues affect everyone - family, friends, the broader community and those working in the area – the different approaches, discussions and learnings from the conference will inspire us to reflect on our own current practices and systems.
