Loss of meaning in later life is strongly associated with depression, loneliness, and poorer physical health, contributing to increased chronic illness and avoidable health‑system burden. Meta‑analytic evidence involving more than 80,000 older adults demonstrates that higher spiritual wellbeing is linked with lower depression and anxiety and greater resilience (Delaney et al., 2022; Koenig et al., 2012). When older people lack meaning and purpose, they are also less likely to share their knowledge, skills, and social capital with the wider community, diminishing intergenerational benefit. This practice presentation draws on two evidence‑based approaches that support older adults to identify and strengthen their own pathways to meaning. First, the HEART Model (Pringle, 2026), developed through extensive research, sector co‑design and aligned with the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards, provides a practical, whole‑of‑organisation framework for embedding holistic, person‑centred spiritual care. The Guidelines translate meaning, purpose, connectedness and identity into everyday practice through relational care, consistent staff assignment, culturally safe approaches, and structured spiritual assessment. Second, Eastern Health’s Tips to Improve Your Wellbeing and Thrive! program offers an evidence‑based, community rehabilitation approach that enables older adults to develop personalised wellbeing action plans. Drawing on models such as PERMA, RAIN, and mind–body practices, the program supports emotional regulation, social connection, physical activity, and meaning‑making as core components of sustainable wellbeing. Together, these approaches demonstrate how meaning‑centred practice can enhance wellbeing, reduce psychological distress, strengthen resilience, and support ageing well. This presentation will be relevant to practitioners, policy makers, researchers, and end‑users seeking practical strategies to embed meaning.
