The Age Wise Alliance Australia

The Age Wise Alliance Australia was established by founder Jacqueline Yanik to provide a secure and trusted online community for Australians living in Canberra and surrounding regions, seeking support and guidance throughout the various stages of life.

The website offers access to a network of trusted local experts and seasoned professionals, empowering individuals to manage aging proactively while preserving dignity, supporting informed choice, and enhancing quality of life.

Guided by a "people first" commitment, the Alliance collaborates with many organisations and professionals who demonstrate integrity, compassion, and expertise. Together, we help individuals confidently navigate a life path that is right for them.

Founder

Jacqueline Yanik

With more than twenty‑six years' experience as a registered nurse across diverse roles in acute care, and the aged care sector, Jacqueline also founded her aged care consultancy business as a natural progression of her career. This enables her to support a broader range of individuals within the community who require specialised support, guiding them through the transition into residential aged care with compassion, kindness, expertise, and confidence.

Dedicated to supporting outstanding care providers, community service organisations, and businesses that lead with the heart, the Alliance was created to bring exceptional community service providers together. It provides a collaborative platform that empowers people to make informed choices at different stages of life.

THE ALLIANCE

Jacqueline is proud to collaborate with, and highly recommend, local care providers, organisations, and businesses who lead with heart and genuinely care about our community. Together, the Alliance delivers exemplary care and provides services you can trust, with dignity, compassion, kindness and respect.

The Quiet Mind

Life doesn’t come with a pause button — and in times of change, transition or decision-making can feel emotionally overwhelming. When there is a lot to consider, it’s common to feel worried, uncertain or under pressure. I work alongside clients to reduce stress, build emotional strength and help restore a sense of calm during periods of change. As worry and overwhelm ease, people often feel clearer, more grounded and better able to cope with what lies ahead. This support focuses on emotional wellbeing and strengthening your capacity to navigate change with steadiness and self-trust.
