About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

To be safe from crime and violence is a fundamental right for everyone in our community. As we grow older, several factors can impact on our confidence and quality of life.


Taking a few extra precautions and being able to identify potential risks or dangers can go a long way to improve your feeling of safety and wellbeing when out in public spaces and at home.


This seminar focuses on a range of key safety areas and initiatives ranging from personal and property safety through to the use of technology and staying safe online.


If you’re an older adult living independently, either on your own or with your partner, family or other people, or care for an older person living alone, this seminar is for you!


Hear from our Guest Speakers:

• Senior Constable Anthony Cordina – Crime Prevention Officer, NSW Police – Sutherland Police Area Command

• Sandra Foley – Senior Social Worker – Southcare (NSW Department of Health – SESLHD)

• Karen Buckley – Healthy Ageing Advisor – Sutherland Shire


This Seminar is FREE with morning tea provided.
