The Maryborough and District Committee on the Ageing (Inc) protects and promotes the well-being of all well-aged persons in the Maryborough community. We aim to develop, improve and coordinate opportunities for elderly, well people to become involved in meaningful activities in the community through:

• Promoting access to services for well-aged persons,
• Promoting community awareness,
• Encouraging positive attitudes of the well-aged, and
• Developing links between organisations.

To achieve these objectives, we provide:

• a monthly newsletter to various groups involved in the welfare of the aged,
• information on organisation/group activities,
• a seminar for the well aged,
• "Our Place" drop-in centre.
• advocacy on older persons issues to local, state and commonwealth gvernments,
• a guest speaker for health promotion "Stay on Your Feet" programme.
