Fast feedback
The community had the opportunity to provide feedback using virtual Post-It notes.
This project is no longer seeking feedback
The current Age-Friendly City Plan ends in 2024 so it is time to start developing the next plan.
We asked the Canberra community about what is working well and what can be improved to enhance the lives of older Canberrans.
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback to us.
All of us will experience growing older in our own ways. The personal experiences and insights you shared as part of this consultation will help us create the next Age-Friendly City Plan to meet the needs of all older Canberrans.

Context
The ACT Government’s vision is for Canberra to be an inclusive, welcoming city, where growing older is celebrated and supported. We want to celebrate and learn from the knowledge and experiences of older Canberrans and ensure our services support their needs.
We will use your feedback to develop the next Age-Friendly City Plan which will further embed age-friendly approaches in service design and delivery for the next ten years.
