Catherine Barrett

Catherine is an inspiration and the powerhouse behind challenging ageism and building respect for older people. She’s a changemaker - working not only at the legislative and education level but also using art and narrative approaches to influence cultural change. She has a terrific body of work across 7 programs. Each addresses biases and current perceptions. She has worked in raising awareness of sexual abuse in aged care, dementia and LGBTQI+ inclusivity. Her work is more important now than ever as our ageing population starts to experience the very discrimination she’s addressing.
