In this episode of I’m Too Old for This, Cath sits down with Associate Professor Elissa Burton from Curtin University’s School of Allied Health — a self-described “pracademic” who lives at the intersection of research and real-life aged care. Together, they explore what it really means to grow older and stay in control. Elissa shares why independence matters so much as we age, and how small, realistic changes can make a big difference — even if you feel like you’ve “left it too late” to start moving more.
They unpack some of the big myths about ageing, how to plan before a crisis hits, and look at why emotional wellbeing and social connection often get pushed to the side in favour of blood tests and check-ups.

Maria Davison returns to explore the deeper complexities, and possibilities, of ageing well at home. From assistive technology to home care pricing, regulation, and the dignity of risk, Maria and Cath unpack what really matters in creating safe, connected, and sustainable aged care services.
Maria and Cath ask bold questions: Can a robot vacuum free up more meaningful time with clients? What if respite care happened in a hotel instead of a facility? And how do we balance innovation with regulation, while keeping human connection at the center? This episode dives into why aged care needs to evolve—and how we can do it together.
