Life After Licenses Film

This film shares personal stories highlighting key issues surrounding driving retirement and dementia. It aims to assist people with dementia and their carers to access support at this potentially difficult time. The film was produced by the Life After Licenses group on the NSW, with funding from the NRMA Community Support Fund.

The Life After Licenses group was formed between Community Care Options, the North Coast Aged Care Assessment Team, Alzheimer’s Australia and Community Transport to develop supports for people who are required to stop driving after a diagnosis of dementia or other health reasons. We recognised that giving up driving can be an emotional or difficult decision, especially if the decision is made under the direction of a doctor or government authority. Although it is virtually inevitable that everyone will need to give up driving as they age, it should not mean the end of leading a fulfilling and meaningful life.
