The countdown is on to the inaugural Wyndham Seniors Expo on Tuesday November 28 at Encore Events Centre in Hoppers Crossing.
The free expo provides an opportunity for seniors and carers to learn about local services in Wyndham to help them age well and live their best lives.
There will be a range of stalls to explore, including those featuring aids and equipment, social and leisure activities, health, safety, technology, finance and legal assistance.
The event will also include a series of free talks covering aged care services, carer support services and confident living for older persons with topics such as online safety, scams, elder abuse, and home safety.
Wyndham mayor Susan McIntyre said that the new event would provide elderly people and their families with easily accessible advice.
“Navigating your way through different providers and information can be challenging;
and the Wyndham Seniors Expo aims to help make that easier by bringing different
services and agencies together under the same roof,” Cr McIntyre
said.
“There will be more than 50 different stallholders to explore at the Expo and it’s a
great chance to be able chat face-to-face and ask lots of questions.”
