Positive Ageing

Positive ageing takes a broad quality-of-life, life-long process approach to ageing, rather than focussing only on older people. It focuses on the challenges and opportunities available as people grow older, taking a whole-of-community and whole-of-life approach to ageing.

Positive ageing seeks the continuing inclusion of people in the broad spectrum of mainstream community life as they age, seeing older people as positive contributors and assets in the community.

Active ageing is a life-long process that facilitates people reaching their physical, social and mental health and wellbeing potential throughout the course of their lives. It also includes participating in society, having access to appropriate care, safety and security when and if required.

The City of Joondalup is a vibrant community with a broad range of programs, events, activities, services, facilities, parks and beaches which create an environment for residents and visitors to enjoy positive and active ageing.
