Grandparents Day gives grandchildren, children, and the community a chance to thank grandparents for their love and support. This day recognises the significant contribution that grandparents make to their families and communities, acknowledging what we can gain from them, such as an understanding of our history, wisdom, and guidance.

How will you celebrate your grandparents today?

Children’s Week celebrates every child's right to enjoy their childhood. It is also a time to recognise and value children’s talents, skills and contributions.

What happens if you don't have a valid Will?

Todd Kennedy recently spoke with LAFM about the risks of dying intestate and why having an up-to-date Will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones.

Planning ahead today can make a difficult time easier tomorrow.

Have you reviewed your Will recently?

Around half of Tasmanians pass away without a valid Will, leaving loved ones to navigate uncertainty at an already difficult time.

This Seniors Month, we're encouraging Tasmanians to take a few simple steps to plan ahead. Whether it's updating your Will, preparing an Enduring Power of Attorney, Enduring Guardianship, or reviewing other important legal documents, having your affairs in order can help ensure your wishes are known and respected.

We're proud to be working with COTA Tasmania during Seniors Month to help Tasmanians understand their options through free information sessions and practical guidance on Wills and estate planning. Whether you're preparing these documents for the first time or reviewing existing arrangements, we're here to help you plan ahead with confidence and make informed decisions about your future.

Your future. Your way.
