Queensland Seniors Diary 2019 - NOW FREE ~~$10.00~~ $0.00
The 2019 Legal Topics for Queenslanders is more than just your average diary. Designed for Queenslanders, it is a valuable resource that empowers the reader by providing them with access to vital information (and writing space!) in one handy diary resource.

The training provided clear materials that were easy to understand. The knowledge I gained was easy to transfer to my work practice.

Understanding Decision Making Training
I really enjoyed the training, it was delivered very professionally and was easy to understand. It gave us a good insight into the Adult Guardians role and its responsibilities.

Understanding Decision Making Training
The advocate was absolutely wonderful, thanks to him things have improved at the aged care facility for me.

Aged and Community Care Advocacy
My father was very pleased with the advocates manner and her assistance. She gave my fathers issues prompt attention and helped support a great outcome

Aged and Community Care Advocacy
I'm 82 years old and live alone. Advocacy was wonderful for me as I didn't understand what to do and the advocate helped me.

Aged and Community Care Advocacy
I would like to thank my advocate for all the hard work she did in resolving my issues and for empowering me when I thought it was not possible.

Aged and Community Care Advocacy
My team now know how to interact more effectively with a client who has a mental illness. Our responses and services are more person centered.

mhWISE Training
I think its important to have someone like your advocate to speak up for homosexual people in residential care. Your card says you give people a voice and you did that for me.

Advocacy
The stress that occurred because of my provider was a real issue and caused me much anxiety. My advocate stood up for my rights and he gave me the strength to resolve the issue with them. Thanks so much.

Aged and Community Care Advocacy
I would still be extremely distressed if you have not come along to help. The entire process made me more aware of my rights and I am now aware of other services that can help me.
