Older People and Seniors

Providing information, advocating and lobbying on topical issues and the needs of older residents living in Campbelltown.

Our Community Life team works together with seniors and local seniors organisations to help voice your concerns, discuss local topical issues and get involved in community projects.

This includes promoting community awareness of older people living in Campbelltown and utilising the Community Life team as a communication tool between the broader community and all relevant services that have a role to play in seniors' issues.

We also help to facilitate a variety of groups and projects to ensure that we actively encourage and support older members of the Campbelltown community from various cultural groups, as well as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders.
