Australia has an ageing population. By 2051 it is predicted that the number of Australians over the age of 65 will double. This will have significant implications for the entire Australian population. It will become critically important to maintain the health of older adults to minimise the impact on the Australian health care system for which we will have less employed workers supporting through the contribution of taxes. Additionally, older adults are becoming increasingly aware of the need for healthy ageing and they will increasingly demand services which are tailored to their specific needs. Businesses who are responsive to older adults needs will have an opportunity to prosper as the numbers of older adults in the community increase. Due to high levels of sedentary behaviour combined with poor diets, the Australian population is getting fatter and obesity rates and soaring. Obesity is one of the leading contributors to type 2 diabetes and therefore along with obesity rates, diabetes rates are also increasing significantly. The need for evidence based programs that help GP’s, Diabetes Educators and those with or at risk of type 2 diabetes confidently manage this increasing problem will be in great demand.
