WA Seniors Week

The City of Rockingham is proud to be an age-friendly community. Every year we recognise WA Seniors Week to celebrate the contributions of older Western Australians and the important role that seniors play in our community.

This November there are 25+ free events available to help you move, create, learn and celebrate healthy ageing. You can download a copy of the events guide below, and printed copies are available at our libraries and other community centres.

Seniors Safety

The City recognises the importance of safety for older community members. World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) is commemorated each year on 15 June to highlight the issue of abuse of older people.

Throughout June there are a range of events focussed on understanding and preventing elder abuse. This includes recognising the community contributions to the Purple Road Project, a state-wide initiative to raise awareness and recognise the people who have been impacted by abuse as an older person.

If you are concerned that you or a loved one may be experiencing abuse, contact the WA Elder Abuse Helpline on 1300 724 679 or visit Advocare.

You can also find more information and resources to help you stay safe in your relationships, home and community by visiting the City's Community safety pages.
