The June 2018 “Responding to Older Persons Homelessness: What Works? ”edition of Parity will be launched by Senator Doug Cameron,  Shadow Minister for Housing and Homelessness and Shadow Minister for Skills, TAFE and Apprenticeships

 Victorian Women Lawyers is holding a screening of the O.W.L.s documentary - Older Women Lost in Housing.  Over 680,000 Australian women aged 45 and over are lost to affordable secure and accessible housing. Hidden and under- represented, O.W.L.s are the fastest growing group in our community experiencing homelessness.

Residents living in retirement housing who have problems with their managers may find it hard to get results. They may feel frustrated that complaints to Consumer Affairs Victoria go nowhere, that managers flout the law or trample on residents rights with no consequences.

In this two hour workshop, residents will hear about the types of issues that can be taken to the regulator Consumer Affairs Victoria and the best way to make your complaint count. 

Our first General Meeting for the year will feature:

• Ageing on the Edge Around Australia - presenting the latest findings from our national research into older people and homelessness
• Older Women Lost in Housing - A short video documentary featuring Penny Leimhuis.
• Meet our New Retirement Housing Team - hear how you can get involved
• Hands off Public Housing! - website launch and hear the latest from the campaign

When: 11am - 1pm, Thursday the 22nd of February

Where: Level 4, Ross House, 247 Flinders Lane Melbourne.
