Let’s Talk About Sex Conference
Alzheimer’s Australia Vic and co-hosts COTA Victoria wish to invite you to the Let’s Talk About Sex Conference taking place on the 8-9 September 2015 at the Pullman on the Park, Melbourne, Australia.
The inaugural Let’s Talk About Sex Conference aims to challenge many of the assumptions, taboos and stereotypes when it comes to older people and sexual intimacy. The failure to acknowledge sexuality and ageing has left many older people deprived of their right to a satisfying and fulfilling sex life. In aged care planning, no provision is generally given for clients to be intimate with their partners and it is often regarded as inappropriate and unacceptable.
