Celebrations are well underway across Australia as we mark National Seniors Month!
It is a time to recognise, celebrate and value the remarkable contributions of ageing individuals in our communities.
From community events in Queensland, to intergenerational programs in Victoria, art and storytelling in New South Wales, and wellness initiatives across Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and the ACT, the spirit of appreciation is thriving nationwide. This month is a powerful reminder of the importance of positive ageing, which includes living well, staying connected, and continuing to thrive at every stage of life.
At the NGO Training Centre, we are proud to support aged care organisations and their dedicated teams who make this possible every day. Through our online training programs, we help workers deliver the highest standard of care in line with the new Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards and the Aged Care Act 2024.
Our goal is to build a capable, confident, and compassionate workforce. One that delivers care with respect, dignity, and choice, empowering ageing individuals to live life to the fullest.
As celebrations continue this month, we join the nation in honouring the generations who have shaped our communities and reaffirm our commitment to supporting those who care for them. You can find out what events are happening in your state or region – it could be a lot of fun! Check your local government website or local council websites for event details.
Together, let’s celebrate positive ageing and a future where every ageing individual is valued, supported, and thriving. And, if you’re interested in our incredible aged care Strengthened Standards compliant courses, click the buttons below for more information!
