Aged care organisations are invited to apply for one-off grants aimed at helping older people living in regional towns, remain independent and engaged in their community.
The focus of the grants is on how best to cater for people as they age, to ensure they remain healthy, active and engaged in the community. It is also supported through age friendly communities and age-appropriate housing where older people can maintain links to social networks and activities, in an environment that is familiar, safe and secure. Funds will be available to private and not-for-profit organisations.
Proposals which reflect contemporary aged care practices, partnerships and investment beyond the allocated grant will be considered favourably. Information about the grants can be accessed on the Tenders WA (external site).
