About Seniors Month

Seniors Month is held in August each year in the Northern Territory and provides a great opportunity to celebrate the positive aspects of ageing and the contribution that Territory Seniors make to their community. Seniors Month events encourage older people to have a healthy lifestyle, become involved in a new activity and connect to the community.

The objectives of Seniors Month are to:

• Encourage older people to live healthy and active lifestyles all year round.
• Demonstrate that older age can be a time of learning and adventure.
• Celebrate older people and their continuing contribution to family, friends, workplaces and communities, and across generations.
