Recipients of the 2025-26 Seniors Grant Program have been announced to support Canberra’s older community.

The program supports innovative community-driven initiatives that promote inclusion, respect and wellbeing, with a strong focus on preventing elder abuse and mistreatment and supporting seniors from diverse backgrounds.

13 local organisations were awarded 80-thousand dollars to support older Canberrans.

Successful Grant Program recipients include Capital Region Community Services, Deaf Advocacy Sports and Recreation ACT, and Woden Senior Citixens Club.

Minister for Seniors and Veterans Suzanne Orr says these funded projects reflect Canberra’s diverse initiatives for older community members.

“These grants support practical, locally driven ideas that help older Canberrans stay connected, informed, active and supported to live well and with dignity.”
