Find information about the services available to seniors including the ongoing programs, activities and events run at centres located across the Central Coast.
With our beautiful natural environments and traditionally relaxed lifestyle, the Central Coast is home to many older residents who are vibrant, active and valued members of our local community. This has contributed positively to our identity and is something to be celebrated and appreciated.
Our older residents make a significant contribution to our community as Elders, workers, volunteers, neighbours, friends, parents and grandparents. They are a rich resource of knowledge, ideas and wisdom providing the advice, experience and support to our daily lives. They are valued as important community and cultural leaders.
Our Positive Ageing Strategy aims to create an age-friendly community on the Central Coast which values, supports, and empowers older people to live active and fulfilling lives. The strategy is made up of four key themes:
Theme 1: Social Connections and Participation - Our older residents are connected and have opportunities to participate in, contribute to and be included in community life.
Theme 2: Being Better Informed and Tech Savvy - Our older residents are well informed and well-resourced as they age.
Theme 3: Staying Healthy and Active - Our older residents are encouraged to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle and can access health services.
Theme 4: Age-Friendly Places and Spaces - Our older residents feel welcome and can access public places and spaces, they can move easily and safely around the community and are supported to age in place.
