Seniors Month is held in August each year in the Northern Territory and provides a great opportunity to celebrate the positive aspects of ageing and the contribution that Territory Seniors make to their community.

The objectives of Seniors Month are to:
Encourage older people to live healthy and active lifestyles all year round.
Demonstrate that older age can be a time of learning and adventure.
Celebrate older people and their continuing contribution to family, friends, workplaces and communities, and across generations.
