Positive Ageing Leadership Award 2016

Andrea Whitty

Andrea Whitty

A life-changing health issue saw Andrea and husband Michael move to Monash and as a result, the community has gained a great advocate for older residents and an experienced voice speaking on behalf of carers.

Andrea is a Monash Positive Ageing Ambassador, contributing enormously to Council’s Positive Ageing Strategy.

She has shared her experience as a carer with LinkHealth and regularly speaks at conference and forums about the ways that health services can be improved to assist carers and those they are caring for.

Her positive outlook and willingness to contribute are just a few of the qualities that have endeared Andrea to the Monash community.
