It’s about protecting your health, independence, and choices.

• Assuming “I’ll manage” is always safer
• Not understanding aged care options early
• Ignoring small health changes
• Believing help means losing control

Planning early gives you more freedom later.
If you’re newly retired — or supporting someone who is — this knowledge can make all the difference.
