Older adults don't just receive services. On GetSetUp, they create them — not an audience, but a workforce.

Tap each to see why peers do it better.

01
📚

Learn

New skills, new tools, new confidence — at every age.

Why peers do it better
The peer advantage

Learning from someone who started late themselves removes the fear and the embarrassment. A peer paces it right and uses references that land — so people actually finish, and walk away confident.

02
🧘

Teach

Peers teaching peers. The engine of the whole community.

Why peers do it better
The peer advantage

A 70-year-old trusts another 70-year-old instantly. Shared language, real patience and lived empathy mean lessons land deeper and stick longer than anything a stranger half their age could deliver.

03
💼

Offer services

A lifetime of expertise, turned into services people pay for.

Why peers do it better
The peer advantage

Decades of real-world judgment sit behind every service. Peers know exactly what another older adult needs — and worries about — so the service fits in a way a generic provider's never will.

04
🎨

Create

Art, content and programming — by the community, for it.

Why peers do it better
The peer advantage

Content made by peers reflects their real lives, humour and references. It resonates in a way "content for seniors" made by 25-year-olds never does — and authenticity is what drives engagement.

05

Work micro-jobs

Flexible, meaningful work that fits their life.

Why peers do it better
The peer advantage

Outreach, onboarding and support work best when the person doing it relates to the person on the other end. Peer workers bring reliability, warmth and patience — and the outcomes show it.

06
🚀

Launch businesses

Ambition has no expiry date.

Why peers do it better
The peer advantage

Businesses built by older adults for older adults solve problems the founder has actually lived. They speak the customer's language and earn trust faster than any outside entrant.

🎓

Customer education

How we do it

Peer-led classes and on-demand content teach members how to actually use a product or service — taught by people their own age who've done it themselves.

Activation & engagement

How we do it

Our peer workforce reaches out, onboards and keeps members coming back — trusted recommendation, not advertising, drives the action.

🤝

Improving retention

How we do it

Belonging is what keeps people. A community members don't want to leave makes the partner's core offering harder to leave too.

💰

Reducing cost of care

How we do it

Peers help members navigate care, stay healthy and stay independent at home — through programs like care navigation and Money Follows Person.

📱

Onboarding to products

How we do it

A peer-led "Genius Bar" — retired teachers and older workers do the calling and setup so devices and apps actually get used, not boxed.

📉

Reducing churn

How we do it

Ongoing programming and real connection give members a reason to stay engaged month after month — lifting the metrics partners care about.

❤️

Health literacy

How we do it

Programming on wellbeing, prevention and managing conditions — delivered in plain language by peers, so it actually lands and sticks.

💻

Digital literacy

How we do it

Patient, judgement-free help with phones, apps and the internet — taught by someone who remembers learning it themselves.

🌿

Helping members thrive

How we do it

From fitness to purpose to new income, the full breadth of the community keeps members active, connected and contributing.
