SuperSeniors Newsletter February 2020
Hi Neighbours!
The first edition of the SuperSeniors newsletter for the year is out now and it is packed full of useful information!
In this issue we share a bit more about us, the Office for Seniors, what we do and how we help older people across New Zealand.
There is a story on money mules, what they are and what to do if you unintentionally become one.
We also have handy tips on staying fit and healthy with stories on Senior Chef cooking classes and chair yoga.
Make sure to read and share it!

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
-
9.5% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.4% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.

Longer prescriptions are here
Some people with stable, long-term health conditions may be able to get prescriptions that last up to 12 months.
People with a 12 month prescription will still collect three months’ supply of medicine at a time, from the pharmacy.
Ask your doctor if 12 month prescriptions are right for you.
