From surfing the waves to paddling along the powerful Fitzroy River, people in Queensland, Australia are discovering creative ways to keep active as they grow older. While physical activity is key to maintaining good health, experts highlight that the social connections formed by exercising with friends are equally vital for overall well-being. Every week, the “Gold Coast Granny Grommets” meet to surf waves and age gracefully. “We've got a group of about five of us that come every week without fail and get in the cold water regardless of the temperature,” says surfer Caroline Holliday. Surfing in their sixties, they understand the benefit of being active. “I think you have to make it a priority every day. So, for me, I train every day in some way or other, and this is just a really good, fun way of doing it,” explains surfer Lesley Vick. “Having that connection is very, very important. It probably outweighs the physical, though that's really important too,” says Holliday. Beyond the clear physical advantages, researchers suggest that working out in a group can play a crucial role in encouraging older adults to maintain long-term activity and can also help prevent feelings of loneliness. “The social support and being with others increases our mood and our mental health as well. So, it ticks two boxes if you can get out, get active and get active with others,” says Dr. Stephanie Alley of Central Queensland University. These friends from Rockhampton have taken up rowing to stay fit in their sixties. “It's very hard to injure yourself, and as you get older, that's really important,” says rower Stuart Kininmonth. But for the Fitzroy Fossils, it's not just about staying physically fit. “The beauty of rowing in a boat, it's a team sport, so you get the opportunity to be with people, you're doing something that's a collective endeavor,” concludes rower Simon Irwin.

The Federal Government will release more than 20,000 aged care packages following an agreement between Labor and the Coalition. Here's how the deal came together.

In this episode of the Friends with Money podcast, we explore the housing crisis in Australia and how renting out spare bedrooms could help provide more affordable housing. Money's Ryan Johnson joins host Managing editor, Vanessa Walker, to discuss the housing shortfall in Australia. They talk about the factors contributing to the crisis, including lagging construction and policies that favour investors over first-time buyers. Ryan explains how the 13 million unused spare bedrooms across Australia are an untapped resource that could help ease supply constraints. We learn who owns these spare rooms, the barriers keeping them from renting them out, and how policies could incentivise making better use of this latent housing supply. Key Takeaways: 2:30 - There is a 250,000 home shortfall between housing needed and current supply. Construction isn't keeping pace with demand. 5:15 - Older Australians own most of the 13 million unused spare bedrooms, often in large, empty nest homes. 8:00 - Emotional barriers like safety concerns and desire for privacy have kept seniors from renting out rooms. 10:30 - Clarification on how capital gains tax applies when renting out part of a home. 13:00 - How rental income affects pensions - calls for policy tweaks to incentivise room rentals. 15:30 - Bank now counts rental income toward mortgage eligibility.

New research has found consuming more nuts, fruit and legumes and fewer sugary drinks may help people aged over 60 feel less anxious and stressed. The study led by the University of the Sunshine Coast suggests a Mediterranean-style diet is also associated with fewer symptoms of depression. - Riċerka ġdida turi li aktar ikel ta' frott, ħaxix tal-ikel, lewż u anqas xarbiet biz-zokkor jistgħu jgħinu lil dawk anzjani fit-tnaqqis tal-ansjetà u stress.

New research suggests a Mediterranean-style diet could reduce anxiety and stress in individuals over 60. The study, led by the University of the Sunshine Coast, suggests a Mediterranean style diet is associated with fewer symptoms of depression. Additionally, experts highlight similarities between Mediterranean and Indian food cultures and their potential mental health benefits.

Advocates say older Australians with a disability are being left in situations where they are housebound, struggling financially, or forced into residential care. The eligibility rules for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), exclude those diagnosed with a disability after the age of 65. That has left them reliant on the Home Care Package, which advocates say – in its current form – does not adequately cover disability support needs.
