Seniors Week

Seniors Week celebrates older Tasmanians and recognises the contributions we make to our communities. It’s a week of events for older people, all over Tasmania. Seniors Week events allow us to connect and share experiences, learn something new or find out useful information. Events are as diverse as the people who attend them.

Seniors Week is coordinated by COTA Tasmania and made possible with the support of the Tasmanian Government.
