Adelaide CBD Launches Community Wellness Programs For All Age Groups

The City of Adelaide endorsed a Draft Community Wellbeing Strategy in February 2026, outlining goals to help residents feel welcome, active, healthy and safe. Several longstanding programs already deliver on those aims through structured activities at community centres, libraries and parks.

Ageing Well Program at City of Adelaide Community Centres and Libraries

The Ageing Well Program runs social events, information sessions and a shopping bus for residents aged 50 and over. These services operate at City of Adelaide Community Centres and Libraries, giving older adults regular opportunities to meet others and manage daily tasks.

Free Heart Foundation Walking Groups and Low-Cost Classes

Free Heart Foundation Walking Groups meet in the city and North Adelaide. At the Adelaide South West Community Centre, participants can join free yoga sessions or $5 Pilates classes, providing accessible entry points to regular physical activity without membership fees.

Wellness Connect for Mental Health Support

Wellness Connect delivers one-to-one coaching and group activities for adults aged 18 to 66 who live with severe mental health challenges and are not NDIS participants. The service covers the Adelaide metropolitan area and focuses on practical support outside formal disability funding pathways.

Greek Welfare Centre SA Fitness and Cultural Activities

The Greek Welfare Centre SA organises fitness classes across Adelaide for older people and youth. Sessions include gentle exercise, social walks in the Botanical Gardens and Greek cultural music, combining movement with community connection.

These programs align with the February 2026 Draft Community Wellbeing Strategy goals. Residents can contact City of Adelaide Community Centres and Libraries or the listed organisations directly to confirm current session times and eligibility. Local medical professionals remain the best source for personalised health guidance.
