Seniors Week 2012 will be celebrated from 18–26 August.

Seniors Week is an opportunity for Queenslanders of all ages and backgrounds to join together and celebrate the valuable contributions of seniors.

Seniors Week aims to:

  • improve community attitudes towards older people and ageing
  • facilitate community participation and activity by older people, including those from Indigenous and culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
  • enhance community connections and inter-generational relationships.

Each year, the Department of Communities supports community groups across Queensland to celebrate Seniors Week by staging their own events. Last year, more than 50 Seniors Week events were held across the state.
