Special edition webinar: Navigating Aged Care in NT, in the OPAN Navigating the Aged Care System webinar series

**The webinar can be accessed here: https://vimeo.com/351120876

Navigating aged care can be tricky. People are often unaware of how to begin their aged care journey, and finding information on how to access, change and update services is not always easy.

The Navigating the Aged Care System Webinar Series provides practical information about Australian Government subsidised aged care services, including how to access these services and where to find the information you need make informed decisions. The webinars are intended to be conversational and interactive with panellists taking questions throughout.

Joining Maree on the panel will be a representative from the Darwin LGBTI Hub and Council on the Ageing (COTA) NT. Together they will explore:

* The unique needs and challenges for older people in the NT in navigating aged care, including Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples and LGBTI
* Innovative solutions to address these issues
* Support needed

*Note: This webinar will run from 2:00pm - 2:30pm ACST (2:30pm - 3:00pm AEST).
