2008 will be the first year the number of Australians leaving the workforce will outnumber those entering it. The implications of this for the future are fewer taxpayers to fund it. For the Uniting Church, already a major provider of aged care services in Victoria and Tasmania via Uniting Aged Care, there will be increased pressure to provide for the frail and vulnerable.

You can contact Uniting Aged Care directly on (03) 9251 4990 to find out how best you can help (a visit to www.uacvt.org.au is also advisable). Or you can open a Development Fund account and direct all or part of your interest to a specific Uniting Aged Care project. It is easy to set up. However, you can, of course, always call us directly on (03) 9251 5450 to guide you through the process.
