A one-stop shop for senior residents, carers, and their families will be hosted next month to support wellbeing, connection, and entertainment.

The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder’s Living Life Well Seniors Expo will bring together a wide range of local service providers, community organisations, and support services at Kalgoorlie Town Hall on Tuesday, May 5.

Mayor Glenn Wilson said the annual event continued to grow each year in response to what local seniors were looking for.

“This is now the fourth year we’ve held the expo, and it’s clear how much our seniors value it,” he said.

“It’s not just about accessing services, it’s about getting out, having a chat, and staying connected.

“Our older residents contribute so much to Kalgoorlie-Boulder.

“Events like this are a simple but important way we can support them, making it easier to stay informed, involved, and part of what’s happening locally.”

A series of informative sessions will run throughout the day, including one from Advocare on recognising and reporting elder abuse; Goldfields Community Legal Centre on wills and future planning; the city’s emergency management team on preparing for extreme weather events; and Consumer Protection on staying safe and avoiding scams on mobile devices.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to connect with local groups and clubs, to explore services that support independent living, engage with healthcare and community providers, and share feedback with city staff on local services and facilities.

Entertainment will be provided by local choir director and band leader Robert Graham, vocalist Emma Schimanski, an Outback Boot Scooting show, and a singalong led by Debbie Short and Val Coufos.

Free refreshments and a light meal will be provided during the event, which runs from 9am-2pm.
