Aviiid - Third Age Living

Building the nation you want to retire in

Investment & Technology:  The provision of aged care is probably Australia's surest bet as a growth industry.

Ageing Australia will demand a full range of top-quality care , incorporating home care packages and then an ‘aging in place' spectrum from retirement village units to ‘high care' facilities, ideally in the same location.

But how can these expectations be made more affordable, not to mention sustainable in an economic context?

Super funds, already big players in the retirement incomes game, clearly have an opportunity to help their members in a new and exciting way.

Last month, Conexus partnered with Mariner Financial to discuss the issue with a group of stakeholders - from the Federal Ministry for Ageing, aged care providers, institutional investors, consultants and, in Mariner, a would-be partner to super funds in making aged
infrastructure more accessible as an investment for them, and as a service to their loyal members.

Participants at the roundtable were:

  • Walter Secord, chief of staff, Minister for Ageing
  • Deidre Ashe, finance manager, Salvation Army Aged Care Plus
  • Matina Papathanasiou, partner, QIC global infrastructure team
  • Sam Silicia, chief investment officer, HostPlus
  • Guy McAliece, director, KPMG
  • Michael Rice, principal, Rice Warner Actuaries
  • Scott Marinchek, executive partner, Mariner Third-age Living
  • Kate Anderson, superannuation and retirement strategist, Mariner Financial
  • Amanda White, Conexus
  • Michael Bailey, editor, Investment & Technology
