Active Ageing Week 2019

Be part of Active Ageing Week 2019

1-7 October

This year's theme is 'Moving for Life' - because being active assists older people to live the life they want!

We invite government agencies, organisations, clubs and businesses to participate in Active Ageing Week 2019. It’s easy!

To encourage as many as possible to participate in this important week, we are offering this free to members and only $29 to non-members. Become a member for as little as $22, receive the toolkit for free, and our member benefits for a whole year!

Our Active Ageing Week TOOLKIT is filled with a range of fantastic, practical resources to help you.

• These resources will help you promote the Active Ageing Week messages, your local activities/events, and acknowledge and award individuals and groups

• Display the themed posters to promote the important messages about physical activity for health, wellbeing and maintaining independence as we age

• PLUS - your organisation's participation will be acknowledged on our webpage!

Active Ageing Week is about changing the way we age and raising awareness about the importance of keeping moving for life. Simply put, active ageing is about staying positively engaged in all aspects of life - which ultimately benefits both the individual and broader society. Together we make a BIGGER Difference!

Melanie Smith, CEO, Active Ageing Australia

Initiated in 2003 by the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA), Active Ageing Week has grown into a global movement that recognises and celebrates the diverse capabilities and contributions of older people.

Here in Australia, this important week is led by Active Ageing Australia and in 2019 will kick off on October 1st, the International Day of the Older Person.
