What is the goal of the National Healthy Ageing Strategy?

• A. To expand digital literacy and online services for seniors
• B. To reduce internet access for seniors
• C. To increase in-person clinic visits for all
• D. To decrease pension benefits

Answer: (A)

Expanding digital literacy and access to online services for seniors supports healthy ageing by helping older Australians stay independent, engaged, and able to manage their health. When seniors can use digital tools, they can book appointments, access telehealth, monitor chronic conditions, and stay connected with family and community. This reduces barriers to timely care and information, especially for those in remote areas, and helps prevent avoidable health problems and social isolation. The other options undermine health and well-being: restricting internet access, pushing everyone toward more in-person visits, or lowering pension benefits would not promote healthy ageing or better access to care.
