Queensland Seniors Month

Queensland Seniors Month provides opportunities to promote positive community attitudes towards older people and ageing by facilitating community participation and enhancing community connections, aligning with the Queensland Government’s vision of building age-friendly communities in Queensland.
In 2024, Queensland Seniors Month is celebrated from Tuesday 1 October to Thursday 31 October.
Queensland Seniors Month includes United Nations International Day of Older Persons (1 October) and National Grandparents Day (27 October), days that recognise the important contribution of older people in their families and communities.
