The shortlist for the 2022 Future of Ageing Awards has been announced, with both Dementia Australia and St Vincent’s Care Services securing 3 nominations apiece.
Now in their fourth year, the awards recognise leadership and innovation across Australia’s aged care sector, and those solutions designed to improve the lives of ageing Australians. A large part of Inside Ageing’s editorial agenda is dedicated to sharing the stories behind the winning entries.
The judges commented on the quality of the entries and the passion displayed throughout a detailed entry process. Meet the judges here.
All entries need to meet strict criteria to even qualify, with many excellent entries not making the cut given they fell short in one or more of the following criteria:

Evidence of success
The nomination demonstrates measurable outcomes including evaluation methodology, key benefits and examples of utilisation of the / the project/program/product/service in action.
Scalable and sustainable
The nomination has the potential to be rolled out across Australia (even if it is currently being piloted only at one location) and is sustainable in terms of cost, production, environmental impact and resourcing.
