Are you under 65? Do you want to tell your story to the aged care royal commission?

Are you younger than 65 years old and…

• live in a nursing home?

• are currently living in hospital or rehab?

• have lived in a nursing home at some stage in the past 5 years?

• at some time in the past 3 years, have been told that you might have to live in a nursing home, but didn’t end up having to?

Or do you have a family member or someone you care about in one of these situations? If so, you have an important story that the Royal Commission into Aged Care needs to hear.

The Summer Foundation can help you tell your story They are holding workshops in many places around Australia. At the workshops, we will help you work out what you want to say, and help you write it for the Royal Commission. Workshops will be conducted in a one-to-one discussion format with places limited to 6 per workshop. At the end of the workshop, you will have finished a submission for the Royal Commission.

In February, March and April half-day workshops will be held in:

VICTORIA – Melbourne, Geelong, Traralgon, Bendigo SOUTH AUSTRALIA – Adelaide, Port Augusta NEW SOUTH WALES – Sydney, Newcastle, Gosford WESTERN AUSTRALIA – Perth, Bunbury NORTHERN TERRITORY – ACT – Canberra TASMANIA – Hobart QUEENSLAND – Brisbane, Toowoomba
