In a past column, I tried to warn everyone in Australia about the massive impact of the ageing of the population. The logic was pretty simple: Half of us will live past the age of 85. Yay to that half of us. Half of us who will make it past 85 will need care. By 2035 (that’s only 12 years away) we double the 85+ cohort to reach one million people.
Australia needs to prepare now!
