What Did You Say?

Good hearing is fundamental to our overall health, well-being and quality of life. It is vital that we all become more aware of how hearing loss negatively impacts our society.

• One in three Australians adults have some form of hearing loss particularly those over 60 years of age.
• • Poor hearing has a major negative impact on people's lives creating feelings of extreme frustration and increasing isolation from their family and friends.
• Large numbers of people with hearing loss don't recognise their problem or are in denial delaying treatment for 3 or more years and hearing responds better to early diagnosis.
• It is recommended that everyone over 60 have their hearing checked every couple of years, and 12 months for anyone with diabetes.

"Companion Card"

Fair ticketing for people with a disability who require a companion.

The Companion Card is a program designed for people with a disability who have a lifelong need for attendant care support in order to take part in activities and visit venues in the community. The program promotes fair ticketing for people who need this kind of support and removes one of the barriers to their participation in activities and events – the expense of purchasing additional ticket for their companion.

Congratulations
"Fraser Coast Show Society"
the holders of a Companion Card will be given
"two for one" entry tickets allowing their "companion"
free entry to the 2010 show.

It is imperative that applicants complete paperwork, etc. and their free identity card will be issued to enable eligible companions entrance to this year's Show.

The Maryborough and District Committee on the Ageing Inc. applauds this action and encourages other business to support the Companion Card program.

Can you match the Fraser Coast Show Society's offer??
