As part of the Older People's Rights Service (OPRS) week-long series, "Prepare, Plan and Prevent against Elder Abuse" for World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) education, we would like to invite you to:

Protecting Your Rights- Understanding Enduring Powers of Guardianship & Attorney

As we age, it’s essential to plan for the future and protect ourselves from financial, emotional, and physical harm. This session we’ll also cover what are Enduring Powers of Guardianship (EPG) and Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPA)—key legal tools that allow you to appoint trusted individuals to make decisions on your behalf if you lose capacity. Learn how to safeguard your rights, make informed choices, and ensure your wishes are respected.

This session is ideal for everyone including seniors, carers, and anyone supporting older Australians.
Session starts:
10 -11am - Presentation

11-11.30am – Light refreshments, information stalls and OPRS team and volunteers mingle and answers questions.
