This Forum is Free to consumers in Seniors Week annually. Another aim is to expose consumers to access help and services available, ask questions about services, direct people where to get help and to dispel any Myths that are believed. The Psychogeriatric Nurses Association (PGNA) and the NSW Branch of the FPOA collaborate to hold the Positive Ageing Forum jointly. PGNA members are welcome but keep in mind the Forum is Not aimed at health professionals.
