Keep active and make new friends in retirement
Can’t commit to a weekly class? Perhaps you prefer to go for a walk, cycle, see a movie, concert or play, visit a gallery, or head out for an excursion with one of our friendly groups.
Join us!
Membership is open to anyone over 50 and retired or semi-retired, and is great value. One annual fee provides access to a host of courses and activities throughout the year.
Share your passion
Our volunteers are the backbone of our organisation. If you are passionate about a hobby or interest, we can help you get started as a tutor or group leader. Alternatively, you can help out behind the scenes.
What is U3A?
The University of the Third Age (U3A) is an international self-help movement run by and for retirees. Its goal is to create vibrant, welcoming communities where people over 50 can explore new interests and make lasting friendships, while enjoying life to the fullest.
Founded in 1984, U3A Melbourne City has welcomed members from across the city and suburbs for over 40 years. We offer a host of classes in convenient CBD locations—everything from crosswords to creative writing, philosophy to film, mahjong to mindfulness. For those who want to stay physically active, we have walking, cycling, yoga and dance classes. Art lovers can enjoy gallery and exhibition visits, workshops and art appreciation sessions.
At U3A Melbourne City, retirement is anything but boring. Join our thriving community and discover a rich calendar of daytime activities. To see what’s on offer, explore our Courses and Events—there truly is something for everyone.
