Seniors Week is back this year from Monday 17 October-Sunday 23 October.

Now, more than ever, Seniors Week provides an important opportunity to reconnect with community and friends and to celebrate all that living in Tasmania has to offer. Older Tasmanians have a wealth of knowledge that enriches our community life, so it is fitting that the theme for this year is 'Enrich'.

Palliative Care Tasmania and Libraries Tasmania are hosting a special Seniors Week event in Burnie.

This free and community-based session is one not to miss! We will be discussing:

What is an Advance Care Directive?
Why do I need one?
The legal components of Advance Care Directives.
Choosing a substitute decision maker.
How to make sure your Advance Care Plan reflects your values and choices in relation to your healthcare.
How to communicate to others what matters most to you.

There will be opportunities for Q&A throughout the session.

Don't miss this amazing opportunity to speak directly with Palliative Care Tasmania.
