Exhibit at the Ageing in Australia 2015 Expo!

The exhibitor prospectus to be involved in the Ageing in Australia Expo 2015 is now available!

The Ageing in Australia Expo will be held at the Melbourne Town Hall on the 2nd May 2015.

Bookings to exhibit at the popular Expo are now open. Based on previous events, exhibitor spaces will sell out - get in early to avoid disappointment!

The Expo provides an opportunity for members of the public to find out about the range of support services available to them as they age, and ask questions of aged care services, health services, government departments, peak organisations and ethnic community organisations relating to their care and wellbeing. The event is targeted to people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to ensure equitable information access.
