National Seniors Australia and CareAbout have come together to promote the benefits of mature age employment to help ease an over-stretched home care system.
Representatives of both organisations were on the Gold Coast last week with members of the Gold Coast Seniors Tennis Club to discuss the benefits of seniors working flexible hours with home care providers.
CareAbout founder Kyra-Bae Snell said wait times for home care were often prolonged due to staff shortages. Recruiting mature workers could help people find suitable home care options and reduce waiting times.
