The Seniors & Care Guide Celebrate its 10th Anniversary
This Guide started from small beginnings as a 36 page magazine in 2005 to grow to the brilliant 132 page magazine it is today. The Guide receives no government funding and is distributed free of charge across the entire Sydney Metro North region stretching from Parramatta, The Hills, Northern Districts, upper and lower North Shore, and the Northern Beaches and Forest areas. Many people ask me "If you get no government funding, who pays for the production of the Guide?" The answer is no secret.

Without the ongoing support of our advertisers, we would no longer be able to be provide to you with Australia's largest free seniors and aged care magazine. Our advertisers have remained loyal to the
