October 1 marks the International Day of Older Persons.

Living longer is something to celebrate. But it’s also about making sure those extra years are lived with dignity, independence, choice and support.

According to the United Nations, the gap between life expectancy and healthy life expectancy reached 9.6 years in 2019, reflecting the growing burden of chronic diseases.

Today is an opportunity to recognise the contributions of older people in our communities — and to think about how we can support people to live well as they age.

Earlier this month, the Midlas team stepped away from our usual day-to-day work and headed to the zoo for a little team building with a difference!

Divided into teams, we took on the ‘Zoomazing Race’ — racing around the zoo, visiting different animal enclosures, solving clues and working out where to go next.

It was a great opportunity to work alongside colleagues we might not usually work with, solve problems together, and discover new strengths in each other.

Our CEO, Angie, recently spoke with ABC Perth Radio Mornings host Nadia Mitsopoulos about the growing number of family and domestic violence matters before the Courts each day and the pressure this places on community legal services, diverting valuable lawyer capacity from supporting clients with other legal matters.

Angie's comments are grounded in what our team sees every day in local courts, where our duty lawyers provide legal advice and assistance to people applying for Family Violence Restraining Orders.
