Have your say about the food we eat at home as we age. Food shapes enjoyment, independence, connection, and overall wellbeing. The HomePlate National Survey is asking Australians, aged 65+, to share their real-life experiences with food and eating at home. By listening first, we can better understand what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and what could help people continue to enjoy good food as they age at home. This survey is part of a national project led by the Maggie Beer Foundation and kindly funded by the Wicking Trust, focused on the joy of food as we age for older people living at home across Australia. Who should take part: • Older people (generally 65+) living at home (not in aged care homes) What’s involved: • Around 10 minutes of your time • Responses are confidential Share your experience – take the HomePlate Survey Download the media release Read the HomePlate survey FAQs
