Enjoy culture and entertainment from the living room

It has been devastating to see arts and entertainment events cancelled across the world as a result of COVID-19.

One positive is seeing how many have brought these experiences online for anyone to enjoy from the comfort of your living room.

This is particularly exciting for older Australians, whether they are living at home or even in an aged care home. We’ve heard of seniors enjoying a daily concert from their favourite symphonies and artists. Making these experiences available online is life changing for some people who miss attending these. We definitely hope it is here to stay!

We have put together a small selection you may enjoy as well as links to other resources. At the time of publication most are free or have a trial.
