Age Friendly Committee
The UQ Age Friendly Committee drives greater inclusion and diversity with respect to age at UQ and the community it serves.
The Committee and its initiatives are underpinned by a lifespan perspective of ageing, acknowledging individual’s movement through their own unique life trajectory.
We will:
- facilitate consultation with the UQ community and key internal and external stakeholders to ensure progress on on implementing, maintaining and extending the University’s commitment to the Age-Friendly University principles (see below) through all relevant actions and initiatives
- provide advice to UQ’s broader committees and governance bodies on
- matters relating to the institutionalisation /operationalisation of the AFU principles in existing policies and practices
- new initiatives to strengthen the University’s support of the AFU principles and potential funding or other resources to support such initiatives
- provide leadership within the University by encouraging intergenerational engagement with events, programs and other initiatives at UQ
- disseminate information about actions and initiatives related to the AFU principles to the broad UQ community and stakeholders.
