What We Do

MAG

Eric Higgins, Steve Ostrow and John O'Dea celebrate MAG's 15th birthday, 2006

 

We help mature age people in our community to improve their health and wellbeing by providing support groups, developing health promotion initiatives and advocating for improved mainstream health and aged care services.

 

Did you know?

  • Approximately 35,000 people in NSW over the age of 50 identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender
  • Many mature age GLBT people have lived the majority of their lives under laws which made their relationships illegal
  • Aged care services in NSW are ill-equipped to meet the needs of the growing number of openly gay senior citizens
  • Some HIV treatments cause premature ageing which means some people with HIV will require early access to geriatric health services.
