The World Health Organisation’s Age-Friendly Cities Framework was used to guide the development of the vision, outcomes and strategies for the City of Fremantle's Age Friendly Plan 2019-2024. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has established eight domains of the urban environment that contribute to healthy and active ageing. These domains include social participation, community support and health, housing, civic participation and employment, communication and information, transportation, outdoor spaces and buildings, respect and inclusion.

The City was awarded membership to the World Health Organisation Age Friendly City Global Network in 2016. This achievement endorses the City of Fremantle as a local government that values older people while striving to be inclusive and accessible in an urban environment that promotes positive ageing.
