Celebration, growth and community connection at the ACT Seniors and Better Ageing Expo

One big day to showcase the very best in ageing in Canberra!

Join COTA ACT for the ACT Seniors and Better Ageing Expo on Wednesday 25 September.

“Ageing is a diverse journey, unique to each individual,” says Jenny Mobbs, CEO of COTA ACT. “Our goal is to provide a platform where seniors can explore a range of options and resources to support their unique ageing journey.”

Now in a bigger and better location – the Old Bus Depot Building (Wentworth Avenue, Kingston) – the Expo will feature more than 150 exhibitors, covering everything from health and wellbeing to housing and aged care, home help and modifications, social and hobby groups, and more!

In addition, there will be performances from the Band of the Royal Military College Duntroon, a community showcase featuring interactive and entertaining activities and groups, giveaways and promotions, and the opportunity to explore art and hobbies. 

Other highlights of the Expo include the opportunity to connect with your local politicians and take a test drive of an electric vehicle courtesy of ActewAGL. The Transport Canberra hub will give you the opportunity to explore electric buses and find out all about the new MyWay+ system being implemented in November.

Transport Canberra is providing free transport to the Expo – including designated shuttle buses from some bus stations.  

No matter where you are in your ageing journey – there is something for everyone at the Expo!

When: Wednesday 25 September, 10am-3pm

Where: Old Bus Depot Building, 100 Wentworth Ave, Kingston

Cost: Entry by gold coin donation
