Seniors

Our seniors

Ipswich Council plays an active role in enhancing the wellbeing of all community members, regardless of their age, in alignment with the following principles:

  • Promoting positive community attitudes towards and acceptance of older people and their right to independence, self-determination, dignity and choice.
  • Valuing the skills, resources and diversity of older people and providing them with an opportunity to grow to their fullest capacity and make a lifelong contribution to the community.
  • Providing access to appropriate information, employment, training, learning, housing, transport, cultural, recreational, safety, security and care services appropriate to the diverse needs of older people.
  • Encouraging partnerships within the community that enable people to age positively within a supported environment.

Seniors Month is for people of all ages to reflect and celebrate the contribution seniors make.

In 2026, Queensland Seniors Month will be celebrated from Wednesday 1 October to Friday 31 October.
