UPDATE
We are postponing both events (Camden and Wollondilly) until further notice.
At this stage, the risk of community spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) in NSW is low. Currently, the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) consider that public events should proceed, however as a health organisation we have a responsibility to help limit the spread of infection and are limiting health-related large gatherings where possible.
We aim to host the event at a later date and will contact you again closer to the revised date to confirm your interest and availability.
You can find reliable information on the signs and symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19), including home isolation and ‘Frequently asked questions’ at: https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/coronavirus
Did you know dementia is the leading cause of death for women and the second most common cause of death among all Australians?
Too many of us consider being forgetful as part of ageing.
Dementia is NOT a normal part of ageing and we should not be afraid to ask those tricky questions and to talk about it.
As part of our Peace of Mind Project initiative, this year we’ve partnered with Campbelltown, Camden and Wollondilly councils to host a series of FREE education sessions.
Join us during the 2020 Seniors Festival for a FREE morning tea, discussion and information sessions and let’s get talking!
