Today marks the beginning of WA Seniors Week 2025 (9 - 16 November); a week that celebrates the role of older people, promotes positive ageing, and encourages participation in community life.
Marking 40 years of celebration, WA Seniors Week begins with the theme "Safe, Connected and Engaged".
Metropolitan and regional areas will celebrate with hundreds of events and activities designed to connect older people with their community.
Through the Department of Communities (together with Lotterywest and Advocare), 53 community organisations and local governments have been provided with grants to hold events and activities during Seniors Week.
