We’re turning up the celebration! Seniors Week is now bigger and better – introducing Celebrate Ageing | Seniors Month.
More events, more connections, more fun…
Celebrate Ageing | Seniors Month is a new chapter in how we recognise and celebrate older Tasmanians. Building on the success of previous Seniors Week celebrations, the month-long program invites communities across the state to come together throughout October to celebrate the contributions, experiences and potential of older people.
In 2025, 463 events took place during Seniors Week. By expanding to a full month, there are even more opportunities for organisations, community groups and individuals to get involved. Whether it’s a morning tea, workshop, open day, activity or community gathering, every event helps create spaces where people can connect, learn, share stories and try something new.
We’re inviting organisations and community groups across Tasmania to be part of this exciting new chapter by hosting an event during Celebrate Ageing | Seniors Month. Register your event and help create an engaging statewide program that showcases the many ways we can celebrate ageing together. Event registrations close July 1 2026.
Start planning your event and join us in making this October a month of connection, participation and celebration.
Event Guides will be available in the 6 weeks before October at Libraries, Service Tasmania, Post Offices, Electoral offices and many other community organisations.
