Local solutions to rural aged care challenges
When the first solution doesn’t work, sometimes the answer is to go back to the very people the solution is trying to help. During 2025-2026, MPHN did exactly that to improve primary care access for older people living in residential aged care homes in some of the Murrumbidgee’s thinnest healthcare markets.
Wise + Well puts information within reach
Navigating aged care and finding the right health and community supports can be challenging. The 2026 Wise + Well Seniors Expo made that process a little easier by bringing information, services and people together under one roof.
Earlier conversations, better choices
Palliative care is about much more than a person’s final days. Yet a comprehensive new Health Needs Assessment (HNA) developed by MPHN in 2025-2026 has found that across the Murrumbidgee, it is still commonly understood as care provided only when someone is approaching death.
Challenging how we think about ageing
Ageism can be easy to overlook. It can appear in the language people use, assumptions about what an older person can do, or decisions made about their healthcare without genuinely hearing their voice.
