60 & Better is based on a community development philosophy which gives older people the choices and opportunities to work together for improvement in their own health and for the health of people in their area. | ||

Programs have the assistance of a coordinator | ||
| Committees meet regularly to plan activities, discuss health issues and decide on directions for the program. Funding is managed by a nominated, incorporated and community based organisation or local Government authority | |
