Added: 2026-05-09

[00:00:05]Right. So, here we are at keynote two.

[00:00:07]Uh keynote two for the for the conference is going to be uh global trends in age care, senior living and longevity. So, in Australia and other countries, we we're used to this this retirement living. So, you get to a stage where you can you've you've reached a stage where you got a bit of money behind you. you might downsize into a retirement village or you might need more critical care and your care is going to change as you get older.

[00:00:32]>> All right? So, what we need to to have especially for older people where change is much slower is a reflection of of what might happen in in our own countries. And what I'd love to see at the conference is an understanding of what all of these these different age care frameworks might look like. So in Oz our age care framework is um you've got all sorts of options on how you might do something all right you might go to a village you've got NDIS if you want to live at home you've got all sorts of of options open to you based on what you want to do so what needs to happen what we need to discuss in this global trend section is is how different people want to live now I've spoken to thousands of people here I'm telling you it's thousands of people um and they all want something different, right? But there's going to be what we need to find out is is that trend on what's going to happen and it's based on how people want to live, how they want to live in Asia.

[00:01:33]Um we need to provide a framework where people fall in love with the place um and want to stay here. Uh we want to attract people here. Um I said talked to some people this morning, you know, I could bag the crap out of Australia every day. I just what I hear coming out of western society at the moment. I listen to a podcast about the US Canada problems at the moment. Um it it just it sickens me. Um but what we're trying to do is say well look here's some positives on what how you might do it differently. So one of the ways you might do it differently is you've got a certain amount of money that you've got and you want to do things. How can you use that most cost effectively to come and live the a great life especially at the end? So if you're on a pension in Australia, you got a house. How does that work? All right. So if you come here, you got to check with with the trend is going to be. You might want to live here. You might want to live part-time in Australia. You've got a whole lot of options open to you.

[00:02:35]So we're going to have a look at the part-time retirement side here over the coming weeks. um where you might stay here for three or six months. Um and that works particularly well when you got grandkids, right? You might be here for 6 months. Um and and that's how it might work. Um you might look at different types of accommodation and how you might do stuff. Um some people want three bedrooms, some people want one bedroom, some people want a studio. So what you need to do is have a look at all your different options that are available to you and what you might do.

[00:03:11]Um along with the the retirement side comes comes the health care. Um and when you get here then there's all sorts of health care options that are available to you that you might take on. So what I'm finding with a lot of people coming here is is it's all about longevity. So they come here, they live a stress-free life. Um there's good health care. Uh they do a lot of exercise.

[00:03:35]Many of them are at home. If they've got a in Australia, they might have a car.

[00:03:38]Here you don't have a car, right? So you get up and you walk everywhere. That makes you fitter, right? So get up and about and you go along. It's all about that long-term healthy living style. The food's very healthy. You get away from a lot of the the heavy Australian foods into the lighter Vietnamese foods. A lot more soups, foes, and vegetables.

[00:03:58]So um some of the things we want to cover in this is is those trends around aging, aging, longevity, health care.

[00:04:06]We're going to talk about um medical tourism next, but I don't want to log into that one. Um and then there those people for age care and senior living who might actually not want to stop work. They might want to keep going. How do you build in a framework where they might be part-time businesses? Now, anybody wants to start a business of course can talk contact me and I'm launching a service fairly soon where we're going to help people set up businesses here. uh and we'll bring accountants on board. We'll bring lawyers on board, go through the whole framework of of how to set up and and I'm putting together groups of lawyers and accountants and and and people with who are good at facilitating government to come in because there are 34 different governments in Vietnam. You got to know how to work with each one of them differently. So the health care and healthy living and longevity is something that'll come out of this next conference. So, um, it's one of the things we want to do in this particular this particular section. So, I'm going to be putting these out every day and tomorrow we're going to talk about the medical tourism. Okay. Thanks for coming in.
