At the Virtuous Senior Centre, we’re all about helping you enjoy your golden years while staying active, connected, and having plenty of fun along the way.

The Virtuous Senior Centre is open three days a week (excluding public holidays) from 9:30am to 2:30pm. We provide a delicious lunch at the centre and can also arrange transport to and from our venue for your convenience. We invite you to explore our weekly activity calendar and discover a warm, friendly community where you can relax, connect, and make the most of every day.

Thank you all so much for today. Mum was so very happy when I picked her up and has remained so all afternoon. She had a fabulous day. What a wonderful program you have there at Virtuous. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Murray came to visit me in my office after they returned from the day trip, and I have never seen him so happy. He said he was absolutely blown away by Virtuous today – everything from the venue and the staff to the activities. He felt it was the most wonderful place for Sandie.
I just wanted to let you know that both Sandie and Murray thoroughly enjoyed the day and absolutely love Virtuous. Thank you to everyone involved in making it such a positive experience.
"Since joining the Virtuous Senior Centre, I have found a welcoming place that I can truly call my community. The team has been incredibly supportive, and I've made new friendships that have brought so much happiness back into my life.
I genuinely look forward to coming to the centre each week. There is always something enjoyable to do, the atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the food is absolutely delicious.
Being part of the Virtuous Senior Centre has given me a renewed sense of purpose and belonging. It has made a real difference to my wellbeing, and I can honestly say that life is good again."
The Community Centre is a place to meet new friends, to come with a smile on your face. The Centre is a place to share ideas and have a lot of fun.
Thank you soooooo much for recommending Kim.
After the debacle of not being able to find the building , she and Narelle were so patient, kind, and gave me so much advice and encouragement.
Again thankyou thankyou thankyou
Hopefully we will be at the next cuppa meeting.
Warmest thanks,
Joan
"Finding the Virtuous Senior Centre has been one of the best things to happen to me. From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt welcomed and accepted.
I never miss a Thursday because it's the highlight of my week. I genuinely look forward to spending time with everyone, enjoying the delicious meals, and being part of such a friendly and caring community.
The support I've received has meant so much to me. I've found a place where I belong, where people genuinely care, and where I always feel included. I'm incredibly grateful to have found the Virtuous Senior Centre."
I would be lost without the Community Centre. I look forward to it every Thursday. Everyone is so caring, friendly and helpful.
