Caring For An Older Person

Sue Pieters Hawke will reflect on her journey as a carer for her parents Hazel Hawke and Bob Hawke.

Prof. Dimity Pond, GP, has strategies for getting the most out of a Doctor’s appointment including those uncomfortable conversations about dementia and cognitive impairment.

Presented by Hornsby Shire Council, Ku-ring-gai Council, Lane Cove Council, Mosman Council, North Sydney Council, Ryde Council and Willoughby City Council. Proudly supported by Carers Support Service.
