John Richards Centre for Rural Ageing Research Oration

Welcome to the John Richards Centre for Rural Ageing Research Oration!

This exciting event will be held at La Trobe University Albury-Wodonga Campus. Guest speaker Marcus Riley will explore the new stages of ageing through the topic: The Ageing Continuum - Challenge or Opportunity? Through this, we ask who is responsible for ensuring we age successfully, consider what approach we should take to our increased longevity and understand what factors are going to impact on us the most.
