New Way to Stay
Advice and Advocacy for Older Australians
New Way To Stay enables people to turn their goals into reality as they age.
A Fresh New Approach
Support During Covid-19
New Way to Stay is open for business. Face to face contact is severely restricted at the time of writing this information and is likely to be shut down all together. Here is what we are doing in response.
New Way to Stay is a new generation consultancy business for seniors that provides a rare and streamlined approach to later-life planning and goal implementation.
In collaboration with you, based on your own situation, we design effective strategies that include advice, risk analysis and a personalised vetting and referral service to solution providers for any of the services you need.
Then, once you are on your way towards implementing solutions, we offer ongoing support and advocacy for you and your family, for as long as it takes, or you choose to have us by your side.
Rather than spend hours online, researching and calling around for help, with just one phone call to New Way to Stay you will be on your way to obtaining an effective gateway that will not only focus on you as an individual but will give you access to a late-life plan that will save you stress, time, money and the common burden of risk that is associated with making hasty uninformed decisions in a later-life crisis.
The New Way to Stay gateway includes the following and more:
• Retirement living and downsizing
• Legal advice
• Financial Advice
• Home care – private and package support
• Clinical guidance
• Residential care placement and advice
• Home modification and safety
• Social and lifestyle support
• Aged care government benefit advice
• Counselling and psychological support
• Education/seminars
• Employee benefit packages
No matter what you need, whether it be confidential research, advice, risk analysis, ongoing support and implementation, or vetting of service providers and referrals, you will receive a service that is confidential, unique, varied, flexible and streamlined.
We offer a total project management service to help clients fulfil their aged care goals. We set them up successfully and safely in the environment of their choosing ensuring needs are met clinically, practically, economically and emotionally.
Client Focused
We introduce our clients to well researched experts across a broad range of services.
We work with our clients to establish their goals and objectives through the transition in ageing. We research the options available to them then help them map out solutions.

Wise advice with words that truly resonate. Thanks so much for sharing Lisa from In2Balance Holistic Kinesiology - Lisa Cohen. It’s understandable to see how so many people gain their inner strength and life balance again from your kinesiology practice 💓
Hello, how are you?
It seems that the uncertainty and pressure around us won't be letting up any time soon!
Part of the human condition is to NEED certainty... we need certainty for our mental and physical health... We need to know what is happening next and what we can do next, to feel safe...
Even if you're personally feeling safe and certain, the feeling of confusion and even helplessness is all around us - in the news, in our conversations, in people's eyes and posture, in the statistics coming from Lifeline etc...
As I am getting busier and busier, I also have been working out strategies to live the life I want - that which came into the spot light while in lockdown...so, I have been listening and learning, reading and learning, sitting and listening... to others of great wisdom, to my own body wisdom and to you!
I am hearing a lot of people say they feel 'stuck', finding it difficult to live in the uncertainty - what I am beginning to call 'the PAUSE' - yes, a wise and wonderful lady came up with this in a session... :-))
So, we are living, existing in the 'Pause'..
How do we THRIVE while in the 'pause'?
A few things come to mind...
Life is a balance between moving and being still... action and stillness... what many of us seem to be having trouble with is the being stuck in a particular action or inaction, thought or belief....Who am I in the NEW world? Where do I fit in the 'Pause'? What name do I use in the new space?
A mentor of mine, Noula Diamantopoulos, recently discussed being 'stuck', simply as being too stable or comfortable... so much so that we become unable to see or hear or desire anything else... change is fearful, however, we MUST be aware of our 'stuck-ness' and be able to name an emotion underneath it, so we can gain clarity and movement again... even while in the 'pause'.
In the very beginning of the Covid lockdown I wrote about the importance of routine, routine, routine... to help counter the effects of feeling helpless and uncertain. We need daily achievable goals... routine, choice and awareness.
Well, now more than ever we still need routine... what for I hear you ask?
To simply to be prepared!
Prepared for what?
Prepared for the moment, day, meeting that you will be called into action - to be your best self, to show compassion, kindness, unconditional love....
Prepared for the day your job gets back into full swing...
Prepared for the day you can simply rest and recuperate...
Prepared for the meeting of a like mind and you fly together...
Prepared for the day you allow a new perspective, thought and action into your life...
Prepared for the day you can move and feel free!
If you would like help to move and stretch out of your 'stuckness' while in the 'pause, contact me and we can begin....

New Research Shows Covid-19’s Impact On Gender Inequality And Mothers’ Mental Health
www.forbes.com
The pandemic has chipped away at hard-earned progress towards both greater gender equality and women’s economic rights, while exacerbating a brutal mental health crisis.It is so important to remember just how many already seriously disadvantaged families will be hit even harder by the growing Coronavirus problems.
Well done Smith family for the wonderful work you do .
As COVID-19 restrictions ease and face-to-face learning resumes, many disadvantaged children are anxious about being back at school.
Children who already felt like they didn’t ‘fit in’ are now feeling more isolated than ever.
Many of these children don’t have even the basic resources they need for school and were already falling behind their classmates before the disruption of the past few months.
Now the pandemic has made things harder for them than ever.
Despite their parents’ best efforts, without internet or a quiet space to study at home, or the skills and confidence to support their child’s learning, some children are at risk of having fallen even further behind after the last few months.
Unless we intervene quickly, some young people may disengage from their education altogether and may never gain the skills they need to break the cycle of poverty.
We must act now to help these children before poverty impacts the course of their future. They need financial support to help with school essentials as well as targeted support and access to extra learning programs throughout the difficult transition back to school – and beyond.
With ongoing support throughout their education, we know these children can catch up and fulfill their potential. You can help give them that support. bit.ly/3foxUJY
