2025 was a year of unprecedented growth and investment in the future of Uniting AgeWell and the services we provide. 

Uniting AgeWell continues to support the health and wellness of older Australians in Victoria and Tasmania.

In 2025, we invested in additional residential capacity to meet future aged care demand and opened new community hubs with AgeWell gyms, making it easier for people to connect with our home and community services.

Australian consumers voted us the most trusted brand for Home Care in Victoria and Tasmania. By the end of 2025, Uniting AgeWell became the 10th largest Home Care Package provider nationally. 

When the pace of life slows and the noise of ambition quells, we begin to notice the difference between loneliness and solitude.

Loneliness is the ache of absence—the empty chair, the silence when we long for familiar voices.

Solitude, on the other hand, is the comfort of our own company—the gentle pause after a busy life, where memories breathe and small joys shine.

In this episode of The Ageing Ideal, Jacinta Parsons speaks with Dr. Anita Goh to distinguish between the experience of loneliness versus solitude and also author and columnist for the Sunday Life Magazine Kerri Sackville about ways to embrace solitude. Jacinta also visits the Strathmore Mens Shed and chats to elders about how to prepare for being alone and support others who are.
