Audience members will have the opportunity to engage directly with panel members through a facilitated Q&A session.
PIANO FORTE is a legal education play written by Toni Wills and developed in partnership with the Suncoast
Community Legal Service Inc. The play uses a fictional narrative form to highlight the subtle way elder abuse
can occur, in addition to exploring the role and responsibilities of an Enduring Power of Attorney.Development of the play is based on the general principle that all people have a right to live dignified, selfdetermined lives, free from exploitation, violence and abuse and that these rights do not diminish with age.
Following the panel discussion, attendees will be invited to a light lunch and an opportunity to connect with a range of community information and service providers, including Legal Aid NSW, NSW Police Force, Warrigal and other local organisations. These information displays and networking opportunities will allow attendees to speak directly with organisations, ask questions, and learn more about the supports and services available within the community.
NSW Ageing and Disability Commissioner Jeff Smith , will also be in attendance.
