It is projected that by 2030, one in four Tasmanians will be 65 years or older, and our communities are richer for the contributions of older people .

Many of us want to age well in our local community, surrounded by our friends and family. With the support of community members, organisations and services, older people can continue to live meaningful and fulfilling lives.

Together we can build age-friendly communities in which all Tasmanians can stay active, healthy, resilient and connected to their community.

Find below a variety of resources that support ageing well.
