Seniors Month 2023
October is Seniors Month! Celebrate the month with the theme of Social Connections by helping create a supportive community with your seniors. Take a look below for some of the events that will be running during Seniors Month. Click here to see what else is happening this Seniors Month in the Wide Bay region.
The five objectives of Queensland Seniors Month 2023 are:
- Change traditional perceptions on ageing. Advancements in medicine and technology have enabled seniors to live longer with the opportunity to contribute to their communities.
- Connect older Queenslanders to inclusive events and activities by producing culturally inclusive, intergenerational or lifestyle events/activities for Queenslanders in their communities.
- Create opportunities for older Queenslanders to continue to participate in activities beyond Queensland Seniors Month.
- Encourage older Queenslanders to live active and healthy lives with improved physical and mental wellbeing.
- Enhance opportunities for older Queenslanders to continue to learn through community education, lifelong learning, and digital literacy.
