Seniors

Senior residents have a lot to offer the Launceston municipality — their experience and knowledge, as well as their social contribution, help make our city an even better place to call home or visit.

The Living as a Senior in Launceston Framework(PDF, 5MB) outlines our commitment to ensuring people can enjoy life in their senior years.
