DO THESE 5 THINGS BEFORE YOU LEAVE
Don't wait for crisis. Set these up now:
1. Power of Attorney - Get it signed (hard copy + digital)
2. Medical Aid Access - Add yourself for online alerts
3. Bank Account Login - Monitor from Australia
4. Insurance Review - Cancel forgotten policies
5. Emergency Folder - Medical details, contacts, passwords
Why it matters: I saved R13,500 by catching a hospital billing error - only possible because I had remote access. Without POA, I couldn't have recovered my dad's R22,000 from an ATM scam.

About Me
I'M HERE TO HELP
I know what it's like to feel powerless from 11,000 kilometers away
Hi, I'm Janet - the woman who managed her parents' care and end-of-life details from Australia without missing a single critical moment.
Not because I was lucky. Because I had systems.
Over 20 years living abroad, I learned that good intentions don't get you access to medical records. Love doesn't let you speak to doctors legally. Hope doesn't catch billing errors that could cost your parents thousands.
So I built what I needed:
Power of Attorney I could execute from Brisbane
Emergency protocols that worked when my dad collapsed
Financial safeguards that saved R13,500 in a single medical aid audit
Communication systems that kept me closer to my parents than some siblings who lived in the same city
When my mom passed in 2019 and my dad in early 2025, I wasn't scrambling. I was present.
The Overseas Caregiver's Guide is the manual I created through 6 years of mistakes, wins, and midnight problem-solving. I have lived the details in this ebook.
I can't give you more time with your parents. But I can give you more peace while you still have it.
