The Centre will promote healthy and happy lifestyles for people 50 years and over and to enhance the quality of life for older people, people with disabilities and their carers.

The Golden Years Centre is located in the inner metropolitan suburb of Nundah, Brisbane Qld. Our catchment area has a significant aged population with persons over 70 years of age making up over 12% of the population. It is estimated that 31% live alone and maybe in danger of becoming socially isolated from their community.


Over the years there has been a trend for Government to fund large-scale regional services with the capacity to take advantage of economies of scale. In contrast Golden Years has remained relatively small focusing on localised and personal service provision. We are proud of our 25 year record of personal service but realise that we need to adapt our services to the emerging and changing needs for our ageing members but also to ensure we remain financially viable.
