Positive Ageing Reference Group (PARG)
The group was formed in 2003 to represent the needs and concerns of our older adult community.
We are residents of the City of Monash, some of us retired or semi retired. We volunteer in our community and have an interest in representing a cross section of older adults who live, work and visit the City of Monash.
The Positive Ageing Reference Group meets every six weeks on a Thursday afternoon 2-4pm.
Calling for New Members
Council is currently seeking nominations from residents of the City of Monash who are over the age of 55 to join the Positive Ageing Reference Group.
