Since the formation of the NCA in 2003, public education and awareness of the ageing process has been very important. Raising the profile of older persons has also been a priority since highlighting them as a resource to the community helps to dismiss certain myths that surround older people and their abilities as they age.

An acknowledgment of the ageing process is very important to all sections of society and essential in order to prepare and plan for old age.

The NCA produced the Older Women Health Education Booklet in 2005 as an information and educational tool for women’s groups. It highlights conditions common to all women, not just older women, and provides information particularly about reproductive health that should be acknowledged in order to stay healthy in later years.
