This year’s Seniors Week (August 17-29) was the biggest ever! Seniors Week is the state’s premier event for older Queenslanders, bringing together people of all ages for a week-long celebration of the achievements and contributions of seniors.
Everyone in Australia has the right to access quality, inclusive and culturally safe aged care services that cater to their individual needs and respect their background and life experiences.
Today most Queenslanders can expect to live into their eighties and some beyond. Longer life provides the opportunity to reconsider not only what older age might be but how our whole lives might unfold.
Every Australian should be able to live well, with dignity and independence, in their own community of choice and with choice of appropriate and affordable support and care services when they need them.
