Where you can meet fellow over-60s

Did you know Over60 recently launched a Catch-up section, a place where anyone from the Over60 community can organise a catch-up in their area or look for events coming up near them? It’s a great way to meet for a coffee and chat with new people and make new friends with fellow Over60 members.

How to organise a Catch-up:

  1. Visit the Over60 website and click Catch-ups in the menu bar at the top of your page. 
  2. Once you’re on the Catch-ups page, click “New Catch-up”. You will be asked to login to your Over60 account.
  3. You will then be taken to a new page to create your event. Enter the details of your catch-up, including the title, date, address, RSVP details and description. Click “Create Catch-up”.
  4. Your event will now appear on the “Catch-ups” page. 
  5. Let Over60 know about the Catch-up by emailing contact@oversixty.com.au and we will help promote your Catch-up to the Over60 community.

How to find a Catch-up in your area:

  1. Visit the Over60 website and click Catch-ups in the menu bar at the top of your page
  2. A list of all upcoming Catch-ups will be listed. Click on the event to find out more information and to RSVP. We recommend you RSVP by sending a message to the host so they know how many people are attending.
  3. To narrow the listing down to your area, at the top of the page you can type in your suburb and postcode, as well as the category of catch-up you’re looking for.
