Queensland Seniors Month is underway from 1 to 31 October, with this year's Connect and celebrate theme encouraging people of all ages to build stronger relationships with older Queenslanders.
The statewide program promotes positive attitudes towards ageing and highlights the social, cultural and community contributions made by older people. Events and activities are designed to support participation, reduce isolation and strengthen age-friendly communities.
The month includes the International Day of Older Persons on 1 October and National Grandparents Day on 25 October, providing opportunities to recognise older family members, friends, volunteers and community leaders.
The Queensland Government funds Council on the Ageing Queensland to coordinate Seniors Month. Residents can check the official program for activities in their area, as event details and availability may change.
