Grants to support Positive Ageing in Tasmania are available through the Community Capacity Building Grants Program.

The Tasmanian Government supports community groups and local government to develop programs, projects and activities that foster positive ageing and work towards achieving the goals outlined in and the Tasmanian Plan for Positive Ageing.

The development of the positive ageing plan saw a wide range of community-based initiatives identified which promoted and supported positive ageing.
