A forum at Media House, Melbourne, on October 7 will feature three leaders in their fields to help you plan your way through retirement.
Financial commentator Noel Whittaker, elder law specialist Brian Herd and aged care expert Rachel Lane will join forces, courtesy of The Senior, to provide a wealth of information on these important subjects in the forum, Your Money, Your Care, Your Rights.

He is a columnist for major Australian newspapers including The Age and, of course, The Senior.
A firm believer in the importance of financial literacy, Noel says people need to understand the main factor that determines how long their money lasts is the rate of return “that’s the all-consuming issue”.

He is a former member of the Queensland Law Reform Commission and deputy chairman of the Queensland Law Society’s Elder Law Committee.
