Our work

Fulfilling work

Our goal is 1 million more people aged 50 to 69 in fulfilling work by 2022.

Safe and accessible homes

Our goal is that by 2030 there will be 1 million fewer homes defined as hazardous and half of all new homes will meet accessibility standards.

Healthy ageing

Our goal is for people to have five more years free of preventable disability, and to reduce the gap between the richest and poorest people in disability-free life expectancy by 2035.

Helping workers plan for the future will help employers retain skilled staff
