Help your employees navigate the complexity of aged care.

Care & Living with Mercer is a one-stop support service designed to help Australians and their families plan, implement and monitor arrangements for their ageing care and living needs.

 

As Australians live longer, more families and workplaces are being impacted by caregiving needs. We know that predictions estimate that by 2055, 23% of Australians will be aged 65 and older. Contributing to unplanned leave, loss of productivity and even loss of talent, continuing at this rate will have a crippling effect not just on organisations, but the Australian economy as a whole. The time to act is now.

 

Care & Living with Mercer is a much-needed employee benefit that helps Australians navigate the aged care system so their loved ones can live better and longer lives with the independence, dignity and security they desire. It provides a solution to the complex and time-consuming process of planning ageing support services, giving them time and energy back in their days.

  • By 2055, 23% of Australians will be aged 65 and older
  • By 2055, almost one-quarter of Australians will be aged 45-65 years and potential carers supporting their parents
