Join instructors from Stay Safe Australia for a workshop designed specifically to enhance seniors' personal safety and confidence.
This engaging workshop covers the three pillars of personal safety: detect, defuse, and defend. You'll learn basic strikes and where to aim, decision-making under pressure, effective negotiation techniques, and how to report a crime to the police. The session is inclusive of those using walking sticks, frames, or wheelchairs, with tailored guidance on utilising these devices for self-defence.
The workshop runs for two hours, providing hands-on training and practical advice. It is suitable for seniors of all abilities and includes accessibility support such as a hearing loop to assist those with hearing aids. This is a paid event with a fee of $50, payable on the day via EFTPOS.
Held at the Hannaford Community Centre, 608 Darling Street, Rozelle NSW 2039, the venue is accessible and welcoming. The centre supports people with all abilities to connect and participate fully in community life.
Accessibility is a priority, with hearing loop support available. Participants using mobility aids are encouraged to attend, and instructors will provide specific techniques to incorporate these aids into self-defence. For any questions, contact the centre directly.
Reserve your spot early as places are limited. The cost is $50, payable on the day by EFTPOS only. To book or inquire, call Hannaford Community Centre at 9392 5869 or email morrigan.turner@innerwest.gov.nsw.au.
