Elders are helping develop an assistance guide for when everyday tasks get a little more difficult with age.

Everyday Tools to Help Mob is a collection of free resources available online and in hard copy which provides older Indigenous people with information and products to assist around the house, in the garden and getting from A to B.

The end goal is to support strengthened social and emotional wellbeing.

Delivered by healthy ageing initiative LiveUp, the guide was developed in partnership with the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service, Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation as well as an Elder working group.

VACCHO Journey to Dreaming Palliative Care senior project worker Robyn Bradley was involved workshops to develop the resources.

"I see great benefit", she told National Indigenous Times, "enabling people to keep their independence".

Ms Bradley said things many take for granted, such as putting on socks, can get a little tougher with age.

'Low-risk assistive' products within the guide include household items such as a two-handed mug, kettle tipper and easy-grip cutlery as well as pre-threaded needles and a seatbelt reacher for the car.

Elder Janet Pyke said she hadn't previously considered assistance products which could be used in her day-to-day life.

Her daughter Paula Russell said the 'little things' can get a lot bigger as the years go by, and it's good to keep families in the know.

"Cleaning, getting to high places, even bending over trying to grab the seat belt in the car. That gets difficult at times, especially for elders," Ms Russell said.

"You don't know about these things until you see it."

A buying guide outlines the range of tools starting from under $5, which are widely available in local stores.

In addition, videos with border information are available online, via the LiveUp website.

LiveUp is run by Western Australian-based non-profit Independent Living Assessment (ILA) and funded by the Federal Government's Department of Health and Aged Care.

ILA chief operating officer Andrea Morris said Everyday Tools to Help Mob, co-designed with Elders, can help "enhance access to culturally safe health information for First Nations communities in reflection of the new Aged Care Act, and Elders rights to exercise control and be informed in a way they understand".

"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge and perspectives must be fully recognised and integrated into Wellness and Reablement policy and practice, ensuring all Elders can feel strong and connected to their communities for as long as possible," Ms Morris said.

Naarm-based First Nations owned and operated marketing and creative agency Little Rocket were also part of the resource delivery partnership.

"This project brought together creatives, Elders and industry experts with a common goal of creating an accessible resource for Community. We hope the Everyday Tools to Help Mob Guide will support Elders to maintain independence as they age for years to come," the company said.

The guide was launched at the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service (VAHS) in Fitzroy on Wednesday.

VAHS are always keen to support any initiative that helps deliver a good quality of life, "especially for our old people", chief operations officer Gavin Brown said.

Mr Brown said plenty of people could be doing it tough without access to quality resources.

"The guide covers difficulties plenty take for granted," Mr Brown told National Indigenous Times.

"I think it's a great thing to be part of, and also a great thing to promote amongst our community."
