Local Member offers free legal diary for seniors

A free 2025 diary with "legal topics for seniors" is being offered by Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch.

The diary, produced by LegalAid NSW, covers a range of legal issues, including driving and fines, disputes between neighbours, wills and planning ahead, and elder abuse.

Social media scams, reverse mortgages and tenants' advice are also among the topics.

"This diary brings together many important topics in one place in an easy-to-navigate diary," said Ms Tesch.

She said it included difficult-to-find but important information needed to access government services, legal topics and seniors' rights.

Ms Tesch encouraged all community members to call in at her office, at 20 Blackwall Rd, Woy Woy, to pick up a free copy.

"The Legal Topics for Seniors Diary is ever popular.

"They tend to disappear off the front counter quite quickly."

Diaries are also available from local libraries, local Legal Aid NSW offices, some community legal centres and Aboriginal Legal Service offices.

They may be ordered online via http://PenNe.ws/zrte7I.

Ms Tesch also encouraged seniors to bookmark the NSW Seniors Festival web page, which can be found via http://Pen.Ne.ws/gHusF4.

She said the page had the latest NSW Seniors Festival announcements, including when free tickets become available to the 2025 Premier's Gala Concerts.

"In 2025, the Premier's Gala Concerts will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, March 12 and 13," she said.

"Seniors make a valuable contribution to our communities and providing complimentary concert tickets is a way of saying thanks."
