Nevena and John interview, Brenda Appleton OAM, The Inaugural Senior Victorians Advisory Committee.
Brenda is a leader and tireless advocate for trans and gender diverse communities in Victoria. For 17 years she led Transgender Victoria as spokesperson and chair, working across governments and sectors to drive equal opportunity and access to services and healthcare. Brenda currently serves as co-chair of the Pride in Ageing Expert Advisory Committee and is passionate about LGBTQIA+ representation on the Senior Victorians Advisory Committee.
Minister for Ageing Ingrid Stitt today met with the members of the new Senior Victorians Advisory Committee who will provide an important community voice to government on the lived experiences of older people.
With more than 1.5 million Victorians 60 years and over – or almost one quarter of the Victoria’s population – the Committee will highlight the priorities and challenges of older Victorians, as well as emerging issues that are important to older people.
More than 240 older people from across Victoria applied to be a part of the committee, demonstrating the high level of interest and passion to advocate on issues affecting older Victorians.
The committee membership represents the diversity of the Victorian community, with members including Aboriginal Victorians, people with disability, culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, LGBTIQA+ people and regional Victorians.
