2 2 Seniors Week 2015 SENIORS CARD

3 Message from t he Premier Seniors Week is an ideal time to get out into your local community, to try something different and make new friends. Seniors Week is an important annual event for promoting healthy ageing with events that encourage physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being. The theme Discover. Imagine. Together. truly captures the essence of what Seniors Week is all about. The Tasmanian Liberal Government recognises the vital contribution that seniors make to the social and economic wellbeing of the community. We are pleased to have been able to allocate an extra $9 million dollars for concessions in the state budget and to continue funding to address elder abuse. Bringing the Masters Games to Tasmania, improving health services and supporting COTA to implement inclusive ageing initiatives are other ways we are working to recognise the value of older Tasmanians, and improve lives. I would like to thank COTA Tasmania for the wonderful work they do, along with the many organisations, groups and clubs who devote their time and energy to host Seniors Week events. Without your commitment and enthusiasm Seniors Week would not be possible. You can keep up-to-date with what is happening during Seniors Week by visiting the COTA Tasmania website, Have a wonderful Seniors Week.

4 CEO s message Welcome to Seniors Week! This is the fifth year that COTA Tasmania has facilitated this wonderful and much anticipated program of events and I m pleased to say that we are again able to present a wide variety of events across the state. This year Seniors Week is again running in the middle of October following a very successful trial of the new dates in 2014 to avoid clashing with the revised school holiday timing. The first of October is traditionally the International Day of Older Persons and COTA Tas is still paying homage to this occasion by scheduling our official Seniors Week launch on this day with a special event on Tasmania s East Coast the first time the official launch event will have been held in this region. It s most appropriate that we are launching in this region because COTA s extensive research reveals that this lovely part of the state has the highest number of senior residents of any local government area in Tasmania. More details about this special launch event (and how you can be part of it) are published elsewhere in this program, which has retained the reader-friendly format successfully introduced two years ago. It again includes the popular Daily Planner, which allows you to more easily identify the events that appeal and make your Seniors Week activity planning a breeze! We ve had to expand the size of the program to cater for a record 540 events around the state, including a number of new events in many new areas including the East and West Coasts. Our wonderful Seniors Week supporters include the Tasmanian Government, which had the vision to start this wonderful activities program for seniors 18 years ago. The Government continues to support COTA to produce, coordinate and promote the Tasmanian Seniors Week program. We also welcome the support this year of TasNetworks, the LINC network and Australia Post. We also welcome back The Senior Tasmania newspaper, Metro Tasmania and MerseyLink Coaches. You are encouraged to support these much-appreciated sponsors and program advertisers whose support is invaluable. I want to acknowledge our small but dedicated team at COTA for their commitment to making Seniors Week as accessible and enjoyable as possible. I also thank the many organisers for their contributions to make Seniors Week exciting, varied and a great success. Discover. Imagine. Together perfectly represents the spirit of Seniors Week events whether they be creative, information-based or a physical activity. Whatever you do in Seniors Week this year, we hope you do indeed, discover, imagine and enjoy, together. Cheers, Sue Leitch Chief Executive Feedback/Your Stories How has Seniors Week enriched your life? Why do you support Seniors Week? What ongoing friendships/ networks have you gained as a result of Seniors Week? 4 Seniors Week 2015 In order to ensure the continuing success of Seniors Week and to maintain its place on the Tasmanian event calendar we encourage you to provide your feedback. We d love to hear your thoughts so send us a note or after Seniors Week. And when attending Seniors Week events, please take the opportunity to seek and complete an official survey form. It will only take a take a couple of minutes to answer the questions but your feedback will be invaluable to COTA Tas in our efforts to plan even better Seniors Week programs into the future. Contact COTA Tas on or admin@cotatas.org.au.

5 East Coast expo a feat ure at Seniors Week launch 10:30AM THURSDAY 1ST OCTOBER 2015 MILTON VINEYARD, TASMAN HIGHWAY, CRANBROOK ALL WELCOME! Tasmania s beautiful East Coast will host this year s official public and media launch of Seniors Week the first time this region has hosted the official opening ceremony. And everybody is welcome! The event will again be held on 1 October almost two weeks ahead of Seniors Week itself, beginning 12 October to mark the International Day of Older Persons. The renowned and award-winning Milton Vineyard north of Swansea has been chosen to host the launch, which will feature a mini expo on the lawns of the estate incorporating information, entertainment and arts activities either available to or enjoyed by the many seniors living on the East Coast. The expo will commence at 10:30am and the official launch activities inside the Cellar Door facility will start at 11:00am and will include addresses by COTA CEO Sue Leitch, Glamorgan-Spring Bay Mayor Michael Kent and guest speaker Judy Tierney. Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier, Guy Barnett MHA will officially launch the Week on behalf of the government. Morning tea will be served to all guests at the conclusion of the official ceremony. There s plenty of onsite parking close to the launch venue, which has level access. The expo is on the lawns so it would pay to wear appropriate footwear and, being Tassie in October, hedge your bets and bring sunscreen and a jacket as well! Everybody is welcome to attend this free event, especially those from the East Coast. To assist with general planning and especially catering, RSVPs are essential. Contact COTA Tasmania at admin@cotatas.org.au or call and leave a message if unanswered. See you there! Popular and awardwinning former ABC journalist and presenter Judy Tierney will be the special guest speaker at the Seniors Week launch. Judy worked with ABC for 35 years until her retirement in During her stellar career her roles included national correspondent for the 7.30 Report, producer for Australian Story and radio current affairs host. Since her retirement Judy has been as busy as ever. A seasoned traveller who s lived in three countries and visited more than 80; these days she s escorting travellers to exotic destinations around the globe, recently returning from a trip leading 17 tourists to South America. Judy is still involved in many committees, has also published a book (with two more in the pipeline) and has no plans to slow down! COTA is delighted Judy could join our launch celebration.

Beth has been an East Coast resident for 40 years and loves living in the Glamorgan-Spring Bay municipality. She says she particularly appreciates that there s plenty for seniors to do. She also cites the friendly people and the caring neighbours. And the local constabulary who go above and beyond! Beth recalls one time she was running late for an important bus trip and left the fire burning at home. As she raced to meet the bus, she dropped her house keys into the local police, who attended her home, damped down the fire and locked up. That s almost reason enough to want to live on the East Coast! 8 Seniors Week 2015

9 TasNetworks celebrates seniors TasNetworks is proud to be supporting Seniors Week in Tasmania to celebrate the important contribution older people make to our community. Tasmanian seniors will be aware that the electricity industry has played an important role economically and socially in Tasmania and seen a number of significant changes in its history. Most recently these changes saw the commencement of TasNetworks in July last year, the result of a merger between Aurora s distribution network (the poles and wires) and Transend s network (the big towers and lines). One of the most engaged and enthusiastic supporters of the annual Seniors Week activities program is Tasmania s LINC network, which is a part of the State Government s Department of Education. LINC services are available from 68 locations around the state, providing the Tasmanian community with access to a range of educational and community services delivered by LINCs, branch libraries, Online Access Centres and the Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office (TAHO). Our role is to deliver your power safely and reliably. Safety is fundamental to our business and I encourage you to take steps to be safe around electricity. Just as the energy we provide powers your homes and businesses, it is essential to recognise the energy of many of our Seniors powers a positive and socially cohesive community. I trust that you will enjoy the opportunity to participate in Seniors Week and congratulate the organisations and individuals who have devoted their time and energy to host events. Lance Balcombe Chief Executive Officer TasNetworks These services include: library services research and information services adult literacy support community learning online access, and archive and heritage services A significant number of Seniors Week events in 2015 will be either facilitated by LINCs or will be held in their centres. See the Daily Planner or suburb event references to find LINC events in your area. Many LINC services can be accessed online at LIVING WELL IN RETIREMENT EXPO Venue: Wrest Point Hotel Time: 1 4:30pm Date: Friday 23rd Oct 2015 Cost: Admission Free Want to know more about The effect of the Recent Federal Budget Government Financial Changes to Residential Aged Care from July 2015 Retirement Villages Account based Pensions and Annuities Investment and Retirement Estate Planning Organised by the Association of Independent Retirees and Australians in Retirement ENQUIRIES Seniors Week

Three years ago Caroline, a former social worker, participated in several Seniors Week events in the North but felt what was needed was a U3A, 22 Seniors Week 2015 DAILY PLANNER that (NORTH) would give year-round stimulation and enjoyment to seniors in the area including herself! So long story short; thanks mainly to Caroline s enthusiastic and relentless commitment and her experience setting up U3As on the mainland, the West Tamar U3A was born and found immediate success and acceptance. Since then Caroline has been heavily involved in the setting up of new U3As in Port Sorell and Wynyard and has also been instrumental in the formation of a statewide U3A council that meets tri-monthly to share ideas.

27 About COTA Tasmania DAILY PLANNER (NORTH WEST) Our organisation is best known these days simply as COTA Tas but we are incorporated as the Council on the Ageing (Tasmania). COTA s vision is: An inclusive society which values, supports and respects older people. COTA s mission is: Promoting, improving and protecting the rights and interests of older Tasmanians with a focus on the vulnerable and disadvantaged. We re an independent not-forprofit incorporated body with a volunteer board of directors who meet regularly. The Board has several sub-committees providing specialist advice. We also have a Policy Council looking at social policy that affects older people. COTA Tas has a small staff; a fulltime Chief Executive and several part-time project officers who have responsibility for delivering a range of activities and benefits to seniors. One of our major projects is of course Seniors Week, the very popular annual activities program devised by the state government 18 years ago and which has been organised by COTA Tas for the past five years. While Seniors Week is our highest profile project, COTA Tas is very engaged in several other areas of seniors welfare. We are active seniors advocates, participating in committees and forums, liaising with sector peak bodies and lobbying local, state and federal governments in regard to policies and issues affecting seniors such as energy costs, affordable housing, accessible transport, information access, cyber security, elder abuse, information needs and more. To assist us in keeping abreast of community sentiment and issues, COTA facilitates a successful program called Conversations with Our Community. This program involves volunteer seniors from several communities in the state s south being the eyes and ears of their local communities. They meet regularly with our project officer to advise of concerns and issues that assist us to develop policies or to escalate the concerns to appropriate authorities. COTA Tas is currently working to expand this program statewide. Another highly regarded COTA Tas activity is our Peer Education program. These are a series of education and information sessions delivered, as their name suggests, by the peers of older people. These personable presenters are trained by experts in the respective subjects and then present the sessions in a variety of convenient and accessible locations. Thanks to a special long-term state government grant we ve been able to undertake a special multi-faceted project as part of the Tasmanian Government s Inclusive Ageing Strategy. COTA memberships with special benefits are available for a modest subscription fee. Contact COTA or admin@cotatas.org.au for more information. You can help us to speak out for older Tasmanians COTA is an independent, notfor-profit body that relies on income from several government and private sources for its sustained operations. You can help COTA Tasmania to continue our advocacy and education activities to assist Tasmanian seniors to enjoy a high quality of life. You can choose to become a volunteer or a member of COTA or alternatively make a tax deductible donation. For more information visit our website or call us on DAILY PLANNER (NORTH WEST) Seniors Week

79 Talk to your GP. A date to remember. If you are 65 and over, you are eligible for free pneumococcal vaccine. What is pneumococcal disease? How do you catch it? Why is it important for me to be vaccinated? How do I get vaccinated? Pneumococcal disease is caused by bacteria that can lead to serious infections in the lungs (pneumonia), blood, and brain (meningitis). You can catch pneumococcal bacteria from people who cough or sneeze around you. Anyone can get pneumococcal disease but you are at greater risk if you are 65 or older or have chronic health conditions. If you are 65 and over, you are eligible for free pneumococcal vaccine from your GP. A revaccination is also recommended for people with chronic health conditions at age 70 (minimum interval between any two doses is 5 years). For further details contact your GP or refer to the Immunise Australia Program EVENTS IN THE NORTH WEST Seniors Week
