From June 2020, all aged care assessment and delivery services now have access to free sign language and interpreting services to support older Australians who are deaf, deafblind, or hard of hearing to access or engage with Australian Government funded aged care services.
The Older Persons Action Group has recommended delivering a mental health awareness event to increase community awareness of, and engagement in, mental health and wellbeing and promote help seeking behaviour.

People can now virtually sign and witness of documents such as wills, general powers of attorney, enduring powers of attorney, advance health directives, statutory declarations, deeds and many other types of documents.
