Information for Retirees and Seniors
Register now for a Bean Retiree and Seniors Forum
There are three 2024 Bean Retiree and Seniors Forums, hosted by David Smith MP, across the electorate of Bean in Canberra's south.
The forums are for retirees, those contemplating retirement and seniors to provide information about government supports, aged care, community services and other community networks.
David will be joined by a number of local service providers at the forums, including Services Australia.
All attendees will also receive a copy of the Bean Seniors Guide – a 70-page guide that brings together current information from a range of agencies and services and may assist you in connecting with support, local services and community groups in retirement.
It includes information about:
- Government benefits, support and payments
- Health, Medicare and aged care
- Wills and legal affairs, scams, safety and online safety
The booklet also provides contacts for community support services, activities and other useful numbers and website links.

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; and
- 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
