Everyone is invited to come along for information and speak to people from a range of services including home care providers, dementia information and support, carer support, aged care services, legal services, My Aged Care, mobility equipment, social and support groups, financial information and more.

“This is a great opportunity to find out about all the support services available for older people and their families all in the one place,” said Alex Mills, MidCoast Council’s Manager of Libraries Community and Cultural Services.

“Aged support services can help older people and their families live better lives and help them to plan for their changing needs in the future,” said Mr Mills.

The Manning Regional Art Gallery will be running free community art activities at the event throughout the day.

Free tea and coffee will be available.

Drop in at any time during the expo.
