Is there a dating site for over 60s in Australia?

Yes. Single 60s, SilverSingles and SeniorMatch are dating sites made for older singles, and RSVP, eharmony and Plenty of Fish welcome over 60s too.

The best one for you depends on what you want. Single 60s, SilverSingles and SeniorMatch are only for older singles. RSVP is the long-running Australian-owned site for all ages. eharmony suits people who like questionnaire matching, and Plenty of Fish suits those who want a big, all-ages crowd.

Four tips for choosing well

  • A site for older people means far less sifting through profiles half your age.
  • What a free account lets you do differs much more than you might expect.
  • Look for photo or ID verification, and easy blocking and reporting.
  • Plenty of people try two sites side by side for a few weeks.

Which dating sites are just for older Australians?

Single 60s has been a friendship and dating site for Australians over 60 since 2014. It is a smaller, more personal site, with more than 1,400 members in Australia and a near-even balance of women and men among members over 55. Friendship is as welcome as romance, and free members get a daily allowance of messages, which is unusual. ID verification is free. You can use it in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer. See what it includes.

SilverSingles is a well-known name for the over 50s. Its Australian pages now sit on its international site, and it is run by SuccessfulMatch, which also runs SeniorMatch; the brand's former owner, Spark Networks, went into insolvency proceedings in Germany in January 2026. Its strength is verification: it says each profile is matched to a selfie video before other members can see it. Free members can create a profile and view matches, while communication is limited without a paid plan. Read Single 60s vs SilverSingles.

SeniorMatch is also for people over 50. A nice touch is that you can join for "social only" rather than dating, and it has sections for finding travel mates and activity partners. Free members can browse and reply to messages from paying members but cannot start new conversations. See Single 60s vs SeniorMatch.

The big all-ages dating sites in Australia

RSVP has been introducing Australian singles since 1997 and is owned and run in Australia. It is open to all adults, so expect a wide age range. Joining, searching and sending Winks cost nothing; a proper conversation with someone needs a Stamp, part of its paid offer. Profiles are moderated and members can verify their photo with a video selfie.

eharmony has operated since 2000 and matches people through its Compatibility Matching System, starting with a detailed quiz. It suits people who prefer to be introduced rather than to browse. Basic members can make an opening move, but keeping a conversation going means upgrading to Premium. Read Single 60s vs eharmony.

Plenty of Fish, owned by Match Group, is a very large all-ages service with an Australian app and selfie verification. Its size is its strength; the trade-off is that most members are younger than you. See Single 60s vs Plenty of Fish.

Is OurTime available in Australia?

We could not find an OurTime service for Australia. Its apps for the United States and the United Kingdom are not in the Australian App Store, and the Australian web address belongs to an unrelated shop. If OurTime was on your list, the closest equivalents here are the over-50s and over-60s sites above. Our Single 60s vs OurTime page has the detail.

What about Tinder after 60?

Tinder is open to anyone over 18 and has good safety features, but its members skew young. Our guide to Tinder for seniors looks at whether it is worth trying.

How to choose the right site

  • Start with what you want. Friendship, a partner or simply company: choose a site that treats your answer as normal.
  • Try the free account first. Our guide to free dating sites for over 60s explains what free usually means.
  • Check the safety tools. Look for verification, moderation and one-tap blocking.
  • Read the renewal terms before paying for any plan, on any site.
