In November 2023, PrimeLife Partners held a half day combined keynote, panel and workshop session, led by Anne-Marie Elias and Abby Bloom (Primelife Partners) as part of Spark Festival.
Over 55’s in Australia hold over $1.5 trillion in wealth (2/3 of total) and will:
● Outnumber under 18’s by 2030.
● 95+% plan to age in their own homes and
● by 2030 will be retiring and drawing down on their super, yet most lack financial advice needed to ensure the care and home they will need as lifespans approach 100.
● Australia has effectively run out of carers.
Innovation is urgently needed to address what is already recognised as a crisis. Australia lags peer nations who have a clearly defined longevity & care ecosystem, and the
● policies that encourage and support innovation,
● corporate-applied research pathways, and
● dedicated funds to grow technology solutions
