Free diaries available for seniors

15th Dec 2021

Seniors living in the Northern Tablelands electorate can now claim a free diary that alerts them of the latest scams, elder abuse, funeral information, and pensions.
Demand is always high for the Legal Topics for Older People diary, which will be distributed from Northern Tablelands electorate offices in Armidale and Moree.
Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall said that Legal Aid NSW produces this informative and easy-to-read diary each year to help demystify legal issues that are of special interest to older people.
“This handy diary brings together important phone numbers and information about everything from helping your family financially, to updating a will and understanding your rights when moving into a retirement village,” Mr Marshall
“The diary is well known for covering the tough topics and 2022 is no exception, addressing the issue of elder abuse and how victims and families can identify and report physical, financial or emotional abuse so it is dealt with immediately.
“You’ll also find tips to help you get the most from life, with information about Seniors Cards and allowances for which you may be eligible.”
To order a free copy of the 2022 Legal Topics for Older People Diary, please visit www.legalaid.nsw.gov.au/publications/order-a-publication and search for ‘Diary’.
Seniors can also contact Mr Marshall’s Armidale electoral office on 6772 5552 to reserve a copy.
