Mayo MP Rebekha Sharkie’s third Positive Ageing Forum will be held at Aldinga on Monday 15 November.
The venue is the Aldinga Community Centre in Aldinga Beach and the forum will run from 9am to 1pm.
Guest speakers include well-known broadcaster Graeme Goodings, National Seniors Chief Advocate Ian Henschke and Tim Donlan from Donlan Lawyers.
He will discuss legal issues for positive ageing, including wills, powers of attorney, advance care directives and elder abuse.
The day will include an expo of stalls for local community groups and local speakers from the University of the Third Age and Grandparents for Grandchildren, as well as a how-to for self-managing aged care in the home.
"Mayo is the oldest electorate by median age in South Australia. The needs of older people living in our community, including the aged-care system, has been a significant priority in my work in the parliament over these last five years," Rebekha Sharkie says.
