Join us for a four-part information series designed to help older people better understand their rights, choices and protections in aged care. Delivered in partnership with the Aged Rights Advocacy Service (ARAS), these sessions provide practical information and guidance to support ageing well with confidence and dignity.

Each session includes opportunities to ask questions in a supportive and welcoming environment. Attend one session or join the full series to stay informed and build confidence in navigating aged care and related services.

Please note: each session will include a brief overview of the role of ARAS, advocacy services and the Statement of Aged Care Rights for those attending individual sessions.
