Seniors Month

Queensland Seniors Month is celebrated from 1 to 31 October each year.

Seniors Month is about celebrating the valuable contributions that seniors make to our city as well as encouraging community connections and participation.

During the month-long celebration there are opportunities for everyone to connect through free or low-cost activities offered across the city.

It’s the perfect time to enjoy what the Gold Coast has to offer, meet people and try something new.
