Benefiting Everyone: Good Design Features for Healthy Ageing

Challenging exercises can be both inviting and safe to undertake

with good design. See the RAIL/NCHA exhibition

With the number of Australians aged 65 and over projected to more than double by 2057, the way we design and support community spaces and services that promote inclusion and accessibility has never been more important.

Thanks to a Melbourne Design Week 2022 narrative portrait exhibition by Monash University’s Rehabilitation, Ageing and Independent Living (RAIL) Research Centre and the National Centre for Healthy Ageing (NCHA), ways to design for ‘civic good’ are being championed to empower people to ‘design the world they want’.
