Presently the states and territories celebrate Seniors Months or Weeks at different times of the year. This makes Queensland Seniors Month, unique to Queenslanders.
Beginning on Tuesday 1 October, the United Nations International Day of Older Persons, Queensland Seniors Month will include National Grandparents Day, on Sunday 27 October before ending on 31 October 2024.
