Our Office

The Office of the Seniors' Advocate is an independent office of the House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador. The Seniors' Advocate Act, came into effect on July 5, 2017. This legislation established an Office of the Seniors' Advocate.

The Office of the Seniors' Advocate works with seniors, service providers and other key stakeholders to identify, review, and analyze systemic issues. Systemic issues impact a large number of seniors.

A senior is defined in this Act as an individual who is 65 years or older; or under 65 years and receives seniors services.

Our Vision

Seniors aging well and living their best lives in age-friendly communities: healthy, engaged, connected, supported and fulfilled. Financially secure seniors with options to choose where they live (geographically and the type of living arrangement) and access to the programs and services they need.
