Seniors Service Directory

Sutherland Shire is a unique community with a collective vision for a connected and safe community that respects people and nature, enjoying active lives in a strong local economy. We want all people in the Sutherland Shire to live more vibrant, healthy, active and happy lives as they age by creating a local environment that supports our seniors to live longer and better than before. Making sure that people have current and relevant information is essential.

This directory aims to provide information to ensure people can access transport, housing, care and support, and community groups, together with activities and events that will enable them to remain independent, engaged and included. The information in this directory is not exhaustive. More information on community services, government organisations and social groups in Sutherland Shire can be found in the Community Directory.
