Premium Content LIFE expectancy in Australia has reached record highs but where you live has a huge influence on longevity. Research by the Public Health Information Development Unit at Torrens University flagged the suburbs and towns with the highest life expectancy and those with the lowest. In Sydney, people living in the Hills and the northern beaches have the highest life expectancy. Ashburton in Melbourne s southeast, as well as Unley and Parkside, in Adelaide, had the highest median age at death of anywhere in Australia at 89. But there was a 30 year discrepancy for Melbourne s CBD which had the lowest of all city suburbs at just 59.
