LOCAL seniors needing help with legal problems can find relevant contacts in the free Legal Aid NSW “2026 Legal topics for seniors diary”.
Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said this “much-anticipated resource” is now available.
“I encourage seniors to come to my electorate office at 1/9 Park Avenue, Coffs Harbour, to pick up their free diary and stay informed about their legal rights,” he said.
“It includes useful tips and practical information about a range of issues that can be commonly faced by seniors – including scams, disputes with neighbours, elder abuse, retirement villages and aged care.
“The diary also includes important information on family and separation, driving and fines, help after a disaster, and money and Centrelink.”
“Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander [people] can also find information about culturally safe care.”
The diaries are a paper format with week-to-view format.
This year’s diary cover is an artwork titled Echoes of Our Elders by Aboriginal artist Shelby-Rae Lyons, who tells the powerful story of Elders passing on knowledge to the next generation
Copies of the free diary can also be collected from your local Legal Aid NSW office or public library, or they can be ordered online via the Legal Aid NSW website.
