The Tasmanian Government recognises the many benefits that come from participating in sport, recreation and physical activity. These include health, wellbeing, economic and social benefits.
This publication provides information on some of the opportunities available to older adults in northern Tasmania.
The information in this booklet was accurate as at November 2020. The listings should not be regarded as recommendations from Communities, Sport and Recreation.
It is the responsibility of all individuals to ensure they are physically capable of participating in activities and to check arrangements for their safety with each organisation.
