Regional governments and registered not-for-profit organisations around WA were invited to apply, and metro-based organisations were also eligible to apply to run in-person activities in regional areas.
A total of 22 organisations across nine regional areas will receive up to $3,000 each. Events planned include information workshops, education seminars, morning teas and art projects to support local people to work together to identify and respond to elder abuse in their local community.
The grants program is being funded by the Department of Communities and managed by the Council on the Ageing WA.
