My Guardian Centenarian's Lunch 2025
Event Overview
The My Guardian Centenarians’ Lunch 2025 was a historic celebration recognising Australia’s oldest living citizens and the extraordinary lives they have led. Held on 23 October 2025 at NSW Parliament House, the event brought together 150 centenarians aged 100 years and over, officially breaking the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the largest gathering of centenarians ever held.
More than a record-breaking moment, the Centenarians’ Lunch was a powerful tribute to ageing with dignity, resilience and pride. War veterans, Holocaust survivors, pioneering migrants, educators and community leaders were honoured for their contributions to Australian society, highlighting the importance of aged care, support at home, elderly care at home and home care services that allow older Australians to live well.
Delivered in partnership with the NSW Government during Grandparents Week, the event reflected My Guardian’s leadership as a trusted aged care provider, home care provider and home care service provider, committed to celebrating longevity while supporting independence through quality care.
