Resources available in six languages to encourage and prompt older people and their loved ones to think and talk about planning for later life.
The Australian Human Rights Commission is undertaking a campaign to raise awareness about the importance of planning ahead for later life.
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 and talking to those you trust about your future healthcare, financial and lifestyle choices.
A suite of resources is available in English, Mandarin, Italian, Vietnamese, Greek and Arabic to encourage and prompt older people and their loved ones to think and talk about planning for later life.

Key messages:
- Future planning is about maximising older Australians’ opportunity to live and enjoy their later years the way they want.
- Planning ahead can give older people peace of mind and help their loved ones understand their wishes and how best to support them.
- Planning ahead can also help older Australians protect their rights as they get older and reduce the risk of elder abuse.
- Australians can formalise their wishes in documents such as wills, enduring powers of attorney and advance care directives. Different states and territories can have different names and rules for these documents.
- Speak to someone you trust or seek professional advice to plan ahead today – there’s no better time than now.
