The time is now to speak to your MP or candidate about housing for older people

[Gemma White]

With the federal elections around the corner, this is a crucial window of opportunity to get positive change on housing policies of the major parties and independents.

Those of us who are passionate about the housing crisis and its impact on older people should request a meeting with our MP or Federal Candidate. This kind of action can get results- especially if you are in a marginal electorate.

HAAG is offering one to one support to anyone who wants to do this. You can also see HAAG’s election toolkit https://www.oldertenants.org.au/news/federal-election-advocacy-toolkit for support on how to contact your MP and what types of things to say when you get into the meeting. You can email me if you want more information at gemma.white@oldertenants.org.au.

Have you ever considered speaking to your MP?
