A free 2023 Legal Topics for Seniors Wall Calendar which includes important dates such as the NSW Seniors Festival, Grandparents Day and the school holidays; and information about common issues impacting seniors, is also available.
The calendar and diary,produced by Legal Aid, includes artwork by Garry Purchase an Aboriginal artist of Dharawal, Bidjigal and Dhungutti descent, which highlights the importance of our elders and our different NSW communities - from the rivers to the coast, with the kangaroo and emu tracks representing moving forward and the whales representing journey and perseverance.
Legal Aid NSW chief executive Monique Hitter said the resources could help seniors identify legal issues they didn't even realise they had.
"The seniors diary and seniors calendar are some of the most important resources produced by Legal Aid NSW because they help seniors to understand and defend their rights," she said.
"The information in the diary and calendar could potentially help seniors avoid costly scams and ensure their wishes are respected when they die."
Attorney General Mark Speakman said, "older people are impacted by a number of legal issues relevant to ageing. The information in the Legal Topics for Seniors Diary helps seniors to understand their rights, and details where they can access advice and support if they are experiencing discrimination, elder abuse or financial exploitation."
Seniors can collect the 2023 Seniors Diary from their local Legal Aid NSW office, local Library, State Member of Parliament's office, or order online here.
The 2023 Seniors Calendar is available at select locations or via online order.
