Greater Shepparton City Council encourages residents to nominate someone they know for the 2018 Victorian Senior of the Year Awards. The awards acknowledge older Victorians, who volunteer to assist, support and encourage others in their communities.
The 2018 Victorian Senior of the Year Awards also recognises community organisations or businesses that create age-friendly communities through inclusion and active aging.
Greater Shepparton City Council Director Community Kaye Thomson said “There are so many seniors who volunteer their time who are doing wonderful things in Greater Shepparton. Volunteers play a vital role in the Greater Shepparton community with many clubs, groups and organisations relying heavily on volunteers to continue to deliver the services and functions they provide. This can foster a healthier and more connected community."
This years’ award categories include:
The awards are a partnership between the Department of Health and Human Services and Council on the Ageing Victoria.
