October 2025 is the 65th year of Queensland Seniors Month
Celebrations throughout October
From 1-31 October we’re celebrating older Queenslanders and their ongoing contribution to the state—whether as volunteers or in the workforce, community leaders or carers, grandparents, or advocates.
Throughout the month community groups and organisations are hosting inclusive events and activities throughout the state.
Seniors Month is all about increasing the social connectedness of older people and their communities because we all want to be:
Shining a light on Seniors
The Seniors Month Grant
The Seniors Month Grant program for 2025 has closed.
In 2025, more than 55 community organisations received funding through the program.
Towards an age-friendly community
Every day older Queenslanders make a significant contribution in our communities and each one deserves recognition for these strengths and the opportunity that ageing well provides to participate fully in our communities.
The Queensland Government is committed to creating age-friendly communities, where seniors can lead healthy and productive lives.
Council on the Ageing (COTA) Queensland coordinates Queensland Seniors Month on behalf of the Queensland Government.
