We hosted a multicultural seniors’ picnic at Roma Street Parklands last Friday, and it was an absolute delight! 🎉 We welcomed 55 enthusiastic seniors from our seniors programs for a morning filled with connection and learning.
Attendees enjoyed information sessions from St John Ambulance Australia, Caxton Community Legal Centre, First Care Community and Services Australia, followed by a revitalising Biodanza dance meditation – a truly amazing experience!
As we reflect on our grassroots work with multicultural seniors, we’re proud to stand alongside global and national efforts to strengthen the rights of older people. The Global Rally for Older People’s Rights (1–7 February) is currently calling for stronger international protections and an end to age discrimination. Communities and organisations worldwide — including the Australian Human Rights Commission— are advocating for a new UN Convention on the Rights of Older Persons, recognising that older people deserve dignity, equality and full participation in society.
By creating inclusive spaces where multicultural seniors can connect, access vital information, and celebrate wellbeing, we’re helping amplify the very principles being championed on the global stage.
