Gov.G. Mostyn:"Eating well is a cornerstone of healthy aging

"Eating well is a cornerstone of healthy aging, a principle that lies at the heart of the Maggie Beer Foundation's mission. By providing education and training, the Foundation aims to enhance the culinary experiences of older individuals in aged care, recognizing that flavorful, nutritious, and seasonal foods are essential to their overall wellbeing.

Recently, the Foundation's Patron, the Governor-General, attended an address by Maggie Beer AO at the National Press Club, where she emphasized the importance of skill-building and training for cooks and chefs in aged care. This support is crucial in facilitating meaningful interactions with residents, fostering their enjoyment of food, and promoting a better quality of life.

Maggie Beer AO aptly stated, "It is our responsibility as a society to ensure the health and happiness of every older Australian." The Foundation's commitment to this vision is evident in its dedication to providing education and training, as well as management support, to ensure that culinary experiences in aged care are nothing short of exceptional.

The Governor-General's attendance at the National Press Club was a testament to the importance of this issue, and the Foundation extends its gratitude to the Hon Sam Rae MP, Minister for Aged Care and Seniors of Australia, and other supporters for their contributions.

In related news, the Governor-General's official trip to Singapore and Sri Lanka showcased the dedication and expertise of teams at the Australian High Commissions, who worked tirelessly to facilitate the official program. The Governor-General expressed sincere appreciation for their hard work and commitment to representing Australia's values internationally.

As the Maggie Beer Foundation continues to champion the cause of healthy aging through nutritious and pleasurable food experiences, it is heartening to see collaboration and support from various stakeholders. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of older Australians, and ensure that they enjoy the quality of life they deserve."
