🌟 Seniors Wellness Day – this Sunday March 8!
We’re excited to bring our community an inspiring and informative Seniors Wellness Day next Sunday — and we’re especially proud to showcase an exceptional lineup of speakers dedicated to supporting healthier, safer ageing.
🎤 Meet Our Esteemed Guest Speakers
👩⚕️ Professor Anne Tidemann – International Expert in Falls Prevention
Professor Tidemann is a highly regarded global scholar whose research continues to shape best practice in preventing falls in older adults.
Her work highlights a pressing reality:
Over 400 Australians over 65 are hospitalised every day due to a fall — that’s one person every four minutes.
17 older people die each day from fall‑related injuries, often preventable.
The encouraging news? Falls are not inevitable, and Professor Tideman will be sharing practical, evidence‑based actions anyone can take to reduce risk and stay independent for longer.
👩⚕️ Janice Smith — NSW Health
Janice will provide clear, accessible guidance on diabetes awareness, helping you understand risk factors, prevention, and how small lifestyle changes can make a big difference.
👩⚕️ Dr Linda Sharpe — Healthy Ageing Specialist
Dr Sharpe will speak on the crucial role of vitamin D and calcium, and how they support strong bones, immunity, and overall wellbeing — especially as we age.
💊 Sheryn Phillips — Pharmacist Blooms The Chemist
Sheryn will unpack the often misunderstood world of prescriptions and supplements, including long‑term usage, interactions, and how to use them safely and effectively.
🌿 PLUS: Gentle Movement & Activities
Enjoy a variety of accessible wellness sessions, including:
🧘♀️ Seated yoga
🌬️ Tai chi basics
🌱 Guided garden tours
A perfect day to learn, move, connect, and invest in your wellbeing — or support someone you care about.
✨ Tickets only $20 — great value for a day of expert advice, community connection, and practical tools for healthy ageing.
We’d love to welcome you there.
