NSW Seniors Week 2015

Saturday 14 March–Sunday 22 March

NSW Seniors Week is the largest celebration for people over 60 in the southern hemisphere.

With the theme ‘Be Inspired’, it’s a chance for seniors to try new things, get out and engage with the community, express themselves and share their unique stories, skills and experiences. The Be Inspired theme is about encouraging greater effort, enthusiasm and creativity with a focus on activities that celebrate self-expression.

2015 NSW Seniors Week will be celebrated across the State with over 300,000 seniors across NSW take part in the festival each year by attending events and trying new lifestyle experiences that enrich their lives. NSW Seniors Week, presented by the Department of Family and Community Services, is an established and effective platform to engage active, social and independent seniors.
