This project aims to utilise the strengths of Campbelltown’s aging population by coming up with ways to engage the wider community with the older residents. This is done through a three-step process which includes an overhaul of the current aged-care system, engagement with school aged students through a school-based program and a program that will provide 24/7 mental health support.
