Queensland Government
Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services

The 60 and Better Program supports older people to develop and manage healthy ageing programs in their own communities using community development principles and practices. The program has a number of goals focused on increasing older people’s awareness of healthy lifestyle options, decreasing social isolation and improving linkages and information exchange with other health services.

The program offers participants a mix of physical, social and intellectual activities that support people to make connections with others and to develop interests. Activities include exercise programs, health talks, craft activities, theatre groups, card games and opportunities to explore information technology.

The program has been funded by the Queensland Government since 1990 and is a service type under the Department of Communities Older People key funding area. The Office for Seniors provides program management support.
