Many older people assist their families with caring responsibilities whilst being actively involved in their communities through volunteering and passing on their knowledge and experience to others.

Seniors Week 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.
