- New Seniors Information Resource released today to help Western Australian seniors navigate the wide range of State-wide services and concessions available to them
- Launched during 2024 Seniors Week celebrations at Have a Go Day in Burswood Park
- Booklet available as a hardcopy booklet or as a digital PDF
Minister for Seniors and Ageing Don Punch has released a new resource which provides Western Australian seniors with information about the wide range of services and concessions available to them across the State.
The Seniors Information Resource was launched today as part of 2024 Seniors Week celebrations at Have a Go Day in Burswood Park, an event organised by the Seniors Recreation Council of WA aimed at creating awareness around the importance of seniors leading active lives.
The booklet was developed in response to feedback from older people across WA about the need for user-friendly, consolidated information on all the services, concessions, and programs available to them.
Available as a hardcopy booklet or digital version online, the resource provides useful, State-wide information about a range of topics including housing, health and wellbeing, aged care services, elder abuse, technology and communication, transport, community groups, concessions and rebates and end-of-life planning.
The booklets will be available in hardcopy at local governments, libraries or community resource centres and local seniors' services across WA in the coming weeks.
An online, printable version is also available at www.communities.wa.gov.au/seniors-and-ageing .
As stated by Seniors and Ageing Minister Don Punch:
"The Seniors Information Resource has been developed to ensure Western Australians seniors have information about all the services and concessions that are available to them in a user-friendly, all-in-one guide.
"The resource is an action of the State Seniors Strategy 2023-2033, a whole-of-government 10-year strategy to support older Western Australians to live their best life as they age.
"I encourage seniors to pick up a free copy at their local council, library or community resource centre, or go online to access a digital version of the booklet."
