Robe to Host Inaugural Engaging in Ageing Expo
The District Council of Robe is proud to present the community’s first Engaging in Ageing Expo, an initiative of Council, to be held on Wednesday 1 October 2025 at the Robe Institute from 11.00am to 3.00pm.
Delivered in partnership with SA Health’s Week of Ageing Well, the Expo will celebrate positive ageing and showcase the wide range of services, supports and opportunities available to help older members of our community live healthy, active and connected lives.
The Expo will feature more than 25 exhibitors, including health and wellbeing providers, lifestyle and financial services, community transport, legal support and local volunteer organisations. Exhibitors include the Limestone Coast Local Health Network, Australian Red Cross, Carers SA, Hear More Audiology, FocusOne Health, Progressional Naturopathy, Robe Cares, Women’s Legal Service SA and many more.
Local clubs such as the Robe Lions Club, Probus, Bowls Club, Golf Club, Knitting Group, Friends of the Robe Library and the Robe Seniors Community Committee will also be on hand to showcase opportunities to connect and get involved in community life.
Highlights of the day include the new Lifeline SE Connect Van, offering a safe space for conversation over a free coffee. There will also be a free community lunch of soup and a sausage sizzle provided to all attendees.
Mayor Ruffell said the event is an opportunity to bring people together to learn, connect and celebrate the many ways older residents contribute to community life.
“Positive ageing is about more than services – it’s about staying active, engaged and connected. This Expo is a chance to showcase what’s available locally and create a welcoming space for people to explore, share and connect,” Mayor Ruffell said.
The Engaging in Ageing Expo is a District Council of Robe initiative, free to attend and open to everyone.
