ACT Office for Ageing

The Office for Ageing is a unit within the Governance, Advocacy and Community Policy Group of the ACT Department of Disability, Housing and Community Services. The Office provides the ACT Government with policy advice on positive ageing and it administers funding for positive ageing initiatives such as the ACT Seniors Card and the Life’s Reflections Photographic Competition.

Positive ageing is about maximising our quality of life as we age, through pre-retirement planning and by maintaining social connections, community participation, lifelong learning and meaningful and enjoyable activity.

Information on community and residential aged care can be accessed at Aged Care Australia.
