Supporting you to live well, stay connected and make the most of later life
Ageing Well at the City of Charles Sturt supports older residents to live healthy, connected and fulfilling lives.
Our role has changed, but Ageing Well is still here.
We focus on helping older people stay well and connected, find trusted information, understand their options, participate in community life and have a voice in the decisions that affect them.
This reflects the current Ageing Well model, which focuses on prevention, connection, information access and community empowerment rather than providing regulated aged-care services.
How we can help
Our Ageing Well team can help you:
- find information about ageing, services and supports
- understand where to go when you're not sure where to start
- find local activities, programs and events
- stay active, connected and involved in your community
- connect with opportunities that support your wellbeing
- share you experiences, ideas and priorities with Council.
Behind this, Council's model works across four areas: Information & Navigation, Wellbeing & Prevention, Partnerships & Community Activation, and Advocacy & Voice.

We're listening to our community
Following Council’s transition out of direct Commonwealth Home Support Program service delivery, we’ve been talking with older residents about their experiences, priorities and what helps them to age well in the City of Charles Sturt.
This community engagement has been supported through an Age Friendly SA 2025–26 grant from the Department of Human Services, in partnership with The Plug In, a research service through COTA SA, and is helping inform the future direction of Ageing Well.
What we hear from our community will help us understand what matters most to older residents and where Council can make the greatest contribution to supporting people to live well, stay connected and participate in community life.
