Ageing Well Resource Guide – A one stop resource for seniors

Published on 11 March 2020

“Get informed, get involved and get connected”, is the message from Federation Council as they launched the Ageing Well Resource Guide recently at the Festival of Fun for Seniors.

Statistics tell us that the information ‘gap’ between services provided, sporting groups, and community groups and the degree to which seniors know about them is wide. Federation Council developed an Ageing Well Resource Guide to assist new and existing residents to find the services on offer for seniors living in the Council area. The aim of the Ageing Well Resource Guide is to encourage individuals to become actively involved and participate in their local community through volunteering and recreation. It also serves as a guide to what services are available in the area to support people as their reach milestones in later life.

The Ageing Well Resource Guide serves a variety of purposes. It offers listings for health and social services, social and leisure activities, arts and cultural activities, local services and facilities and transport and travel times, and much more.

Council called it a one stop resource for seniors, their families and caregivers, “The Ageing Well Resource Guide consolidates all of the resources seniors need by offering a vast array of support for our older population, their families and caregivers,” said Mayor Pat Bourke.

The Ageing Well Resource Guide is a free resource, available in hard copy and will soon be available as a electronic resource on the Council’s website. Hard copies can be picked up from any Federation Council office.
