Healthy and Active Living
Being physically and socially active promotes good health, and helps to maintain mobility, independence and a good quality of life. Participation in recreation and leisure activities also allows older people to be socially active and interact with the local community.
Government Initiatives
Since 2003 the Government has committed nearly $6 million to the Office of Senior Victorians to increase active living by seniors through a range of initiatives. Find out more about the Seniors 'Go for your life' Initiative.
Activities for Seniors
There are many opportunities for seniors across Victoria to be active. The Activities for Seniors page offers links to various groups and organisations across the state who have offerings for senior Victorians.
Web Site Updates
DPCD's websites are progressively being updated to reflect the changes following the establishment of the
department. This means you will continue to see some references to the Department for Victorian Communities
(DVC) as changes are being made.
