Planning for the future takes time, but more importantly, it takes action. All the worry in the world will not keep our family members safe.
If you want to know more about what you can do now, this workshop will give you practical strategies. You will hear what other families have done, as well as information from a lawyer about important legal safeguards.
This is a 2-part series:
Wednesday 21st October 6pm-8pm AEDT
Wednesday 28th October 6pm-8pm AEDT
*You will need to attend both sessions.
This event is facilitated by Susanna Wagner and Linda Hughes. Susanna together with her family, is now moving forward with their planning and taking action. They are building a circle of support around Luca and considering strategies to ensure Luca enjoys a good life, now and into the future. Linda’s son Jacob is 34 and she continues to play a key role in ensuring Jacob enjoys a good life. She writes about her concerns and some strategies here.

We will also be joined by guest speaker Anne Cregan. Anne is a lawyer and partner in Gilbert + Tobin’s Pro Bono group. The pro bono practice has a particular focus on legal issues affecting Indigenous Australians, people with disabilities and refugees. Anne has extensive experience in assisting people who are disadvantaged and marginalised.
