Connecting with one another has never been more important and for the first time we will be celebrating Queensland Seniors Month, 1- 31 October, with the theme Social Connections.

During the month people of all ages, cultures, and abilities will be able connect and celebrate the important and essential roles older people play in our communities.

In short, it’s going to be a connect fest!

Beginning on the United Nations International Day of Older Persons the month will end on National Grandparents Day, 31 October.

Seniors Month aims to:

• improve community attitudes towards older people and ageing.
• facilitate community participation and activity by older people, including those from Indigenous and culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
• enhance community connections and inter-generational relationships.
