The Minister for Seniors Tracey Martin has released the new strategy for our ageing population, Better Later Life – He Oranga Kaumātua 2019 to 2034.
Like the rest of the developed world, New Zealand has an ageing population. This means there are some things we must consider and prepare for as a country.
Better Later Life takes a fresh look at what is required to ensure New Zealand is a great place to age and achieve the vision of making sure older people lead valued, connecting and fulfilling lives.
The strategy's key areas for action will be used to guide the priorities of what needs to happen in our action plan.

Jo and Rachel talked about what's going on in their own backyards and suggested some edible crops you can sow and grow yourself. Jo gave a masterclass in planting tomatoes, the pair discussed peeing on lemon trees and keeping cats out of your vege beds, and Rachel talked to a Central Otago gardener who has to deal with extreme temperatures, extreme drought... and temperamental donkeys. You can also follow the conversation on Spotify and Stitcher. Let your friends know too!

The largely unused hospital grounds were bustling with fete-goers, 140 stallholders and live entertainment in what was a first for Hanmer Springs village.
Organisers Abby France and Catherine Batterson said the weather on Friday was perfect for the "absolutely amazing event".
The fete focused on highlighting great local produce, with stallholders selling everything from locally-grown hazelnuts to hand-crafted wine barrels.
Batterson said the event reaffirmed Hanmer Springs' growing reputation as a boutique shopping and event destination.
"[We] focussed on bringing in really high quality products from all over the country – and items you cannot find in a shopping centre," she said.
