The National Seniors Association is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that represents the interests of senior Australians.

As part of the Maroondah Seniors Festival, Peter Feeney from the National Seniors Association delivered a presentation on the organisation explaining its unique advocacy and social role.

The National Seniors Association is well positioned as a leading voice for Australian senior citizens, through its policy development and the establishment of several business units to support the organisation.

The organisation prides itself on being an independent voice for seniors and operates without any form of government funding. The National Seniors Association fulfils the dual purpose of providing policy and advocacy, as well as activities that promote social inclusion through local branch meetings.

The National Seniors Association ensures that the concerns of seniors are being heard by governments of all levels. For further information please visit the website for the Maroondah Branch of the National Seniors Association at www.seniorsmaroondah.com.
