Seniors Week 2026

Seniors Week runs from 8 to 15 November, with events and activities held across WA.

Seniors Week is a great opportunity for all ages to acknowledge and celebrate the role older people have in our communities and encourage their participation in community life.

We’re working towards an inclusive and harmonious City by creating opportunities for our diverse community – including older residents – to connect with their local areas.

See below information for all the events and activities happening.

Celebrate Seniors Week 2026 by discovering Purple Road displays across Western Australia.

Stretching over 100 metres across the state, each Purple Road invites the community to honour the wisdom, individuality and life journeys of older people, while helping raise awareness of elder abuse and challenging ageism.

The Older People’s Rights Service team at Encompass Legal and Community Services invites you to follow the Purple Road journey and to get in touch if you or someone you know is at risk or experiencing elder abuse.

Locations within the City of Stirling:

  • Dianella - Dianella Autumn Centre/Scarborough Craft Group - Stirling Libraries - Dianella
  • Mirrabooka | Scarborough Craft & Chat/Dianella Autumn Club - Stirling Libraries - Mirrabooka.

Age-Friendly Plan 2023–2027

The City consulted with the community to identify key priorities for supporting older people. These insights shaped our Age-Friendly Plan 2023–2027, which will directly guide our services, partnerships, and advocacy to ensure older Australians are celebrated, respected, and actively supported to participate in community life.
