Share what ageing well means to you

We want to hear what ageing well looks like for you, from staying connected and accessing information, to feeling safe, included and supported in your community.

If you:

  • Live in the City of Charles Sturt or regularly access services locally and
  • Are aged 60 and over, or 50 and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

You are invited to complete a survey to share your experiences and priorities about ageing well to help us understand the different experiences in our community. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.

What's happened so far?

During June and July, we held several community workshops to explore experiences of ageing. We heard from a diverse range of community that live or use local council services within the City of Charles Sturt which helped us develop the community survey.

Get involved

We are keen to explore what we heard in the community workshops with our community survey.

How will we use your feedback?

The insights gathered from the recent workshops and the survey will help us understand what ageing well means to people in our local community. The feedback will inform how we support older people to live well in our city, now and into the future.
