Over 60s dating in Australia.

Dating over 60, Aussie style.

Australians are good at enjoying life outdoors, and that doesn't stop at 60. Over 60 Love is a dating site for single Australians aged 60 and over, whether you're after friendship, companionship or a new relationship.

If you've searched for "over 60s dating Australia" and felt put off by apps designed for much younger people, you're not alone. Our pages use large, clear text you can make bigger with the A buttons at the top, and everything works in the browser you already use.

First date ideas

• A morning coffee at a local café, Australia's favourite meeting place.
• A coastal or river walk, choosing an easy, well-used path, early before the heat.
• A farmers' market on the weekend.
• A botanic garden, with shade and plenty of seats.
• A long lunch at a winery or a local bistro.

Grey nomads and long distances.

Plenty of retired Australians spend months on the road with a caravan. If that's you, mention it on your profile, along with where you're based when you're home. Australia's distances are big, so think about how far you'd realistically travel. VIP members can search by city and distance to focus on people nearby.

City or country

Whether you live in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, a coastal town or out in the country, your profile shows only your nearest town or city, so people can see you're local without knowing where you live.

Writing a profile that stands out.

Be specific. Mention what you love doing, whether that's a morning swim, the footy on a Saturday, bowls, gardening or spoiling the grandkids. Say what you're looking for, too: a travel companion, someone for long lunches, or a partner for the years ahead. Honest, specific details give people something easy to reply to.

How Over 60 Love works.

Joining is free. Create your profile, add a couple of recent photos and say what you enjoy. Every member gets daily match suggestions and can browse profiles; your location shows only as your nearest town or city. Free members can send a limited number of messages each day, and VIP members can message without limits and use filters such as city and distance. Members can choose to verify by ID, video or profile validation, and our support team is available 24/7. See pricing and safety for the details.

Staying safe

Romance scams affect Australians of every age. Never send money, gift cards or cryptocurrency to someone you've met online, be wary of anyone who wants to move to another app quickly, and video call before meeting. If you think you've been targeted, stop contact, report the profile, and contact your bank and the police. Read our guide to dating red flags over 60.
