On Wednesday 7 November, WSCF staff attended the Healthy Ageing Forum in Granville, hosted by Multicultural NSW. This event was an opportunity for local organisations working with diverse ageing communities to share vital information with each other and to express concerns and ask questions to the panel of speakers. Hosted by Granville State member Tony Issa MP, facilitating a panel included the Minister for Multiculturalism, the Hon. Ray Williams MP and the Minister for Ageing, the Hon. Tanya Davies MP, as well as special guests Richard Pilgrim, from Service NSW, Shelly Harper from the Elder Abuse Helpline and Resource Unit, and Peter Taylor from Seniors Card NSW. Attendance was impressive, participation was lively, and undertakings were made, for future collaboration.
