Background paper

The research project, including the issues to be explored in the research, some basic demographic details about older people in NSW, and a brief overview of certain life-cycle and cohort factors which may impact on the particular legal issues which older people may face, or their ability to access legal services.

The background paper was distributed to individuals and organisations identified as potential stakeholders in the project, to assist them in providing relevant information to the research team, either through the consultations or the submission process. These included community and peak organisations representing the interests of older people in NSW or providing services to older people in NSW, relevant government bodies, community legal centres, ageing and disability officers in local government, academics and others with an interest in general or particular issues concerning the legal needs of older people.
