We support older residents to stay active, connected, involved and celebrated in community life.
This page provides links to local services, activities and events for seniors in Port Macquarie-Hastings.

MyCommunity Directory

MyCommunity Directory is an online directory of local community organisations, groups, services and events.

It’s a useful place to look if you’re interested in

  • Local clubs, social groups and activities
  •  Community support services
  •  Events and programs happening in the region

Community organisations manage their own listings, so information may change over time.

 

Library Services and Events

Mid North Coast Libraries offer a range of programs, services and events for older residents such as:

  • Talks and workshops
  •  Book clubs and social sessions
  •  Technology help and learning opportunities

You can view events and activities for seniors on the library's events calendar.

My Aged Care

My Aged Care is the Australian Government’s starting point for aged care information and services.

The website can help you:

  • Learn about the types of aged care services available
  •  Check eligibility and apply for support
  •  Find service providers
  •  Access information for carers and families

 

Inclusion and Accessibility

Council works to create inclusive and accessible spaces, services and programs for all members of the community.

Our Community Inclusion and Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2025 - 2029 guides how we reduce barriers, improve access and support participation across Council services and activities. This includes consideration of access needs across different life stages and circumstances.

If you’re looking for information about accessibility features, supports or adjustments available across Council services, you can visit our Disability access and inclusion page.

Community Grants Program

Council’s Community Grants Program supports local not-for-profit organisations to deliver projects, events and activities that benefit the community.

Many funded projects support older residents by:

  • Improving social connection and wellbeing
  •  Delivering activities and events
  •  Supporting inclusive and accessible community programs

Visit Council's Community Grants page for more information and to see past grant recipients.
