The Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has produced a range of educational resources to raise awareness about the importance of planning ahead for later life.
The focus of the "Have You Thought About Later Life?" campaign is to provide resources in English and five community languages to support Australians to have these conversations.
Future planning empowers older people to have choice and control over their senior years and provides peace of mind for them and their loved ones. It involves thinking about and then talking to those you trust about your future healthcare, financial and lifestyle choices.
Planning ahead maximises your opportunity to live and enjoy your later years the way you want and helps those around you understand your wishes and how best to support you.
Making plans can safeguard your rights in the future, reduce family stress and conflict, and even protect you against elder abuse.
