The Bean Seniors Guide is regularly updated to provide information for seniors living in the Bean electorate (Woden, Weston Creek, Tuggeranong, Tharwa and Norfolk Island). It is aimed at those who have retired or are planning for retirement.
We know that retirement brings with it significant change and can be a challenging time as we reconnect with our community in different ways.
The booklet aims to assist in connecting with relevant supports, services and community groups. It also provides information about the government financial support available in retirement.
It incorporates relevant information from several agencies and services such as:
- government benefits, support and payments
- Medicare and health information
- contacts for community support services and activities
- information about wills and legal affairs, safety, scams and online safety
- phone numbers and website links you might find useful.
To request a copy of the Bean Seniors Guide please fill out the form on this page.
Let us know at the end of the form (in the delivered or collected field) whether you would like the booklet delivered to your home or made available for collection at my office.
*If you have RSVP'd to one of our forums, you will receive a guide when you attend.
All the best with your future plans.
David Smith MP
