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.

The theme for 2025 Seniors Month is “Connect and celebrate”.

This theme recognises strong communities are connected communities. It embraces older people and recognises the enormous value they contribute to our families, neighbourhoods and wider communities. It focuses on the importance of ensuring Queensland Seniors are supported to live active, healthy and productive lives and are connected, cared for and celebrated.

Strong communities are essential to our economic prosperity, wellbeing and future opportunities.

The three objectives of Queensland Seniors Month 2025 are for Queensland Seniors to be:

1. Connected to their community through inclusive events that are culturally inclusive, intergenerational, with opportunities to continue to learn through community education, lifelong learning, and digital literacy beyond Seniors Month.
2. Cared for and supported through the discovery of supports and services, and events that encourage older Queenslanders to live active and healthy lives with improved physical and mental wellbeing.
3. Celebrated for the contribution they make as workers, volunteers, carers, and community leaders.
