This booklet outlines your rights as an older person, and how to access resources and support for future planning regardless of your age, eccentricity, or life choices that others may not agree with.
That's because everyone has the right to a positive ageing experience and the freedom to enjoy human rights, including the right to:
live in safety and free from abuse
be treated with dignity and respect
adequate food, water, shelter, clothing and health care
make their own decisions (if they are capable of doing so and wish to do so), even if others do not agree with those decisions
have their wishes respected
privacy
to seek and receive independent and confidential professional advice
