LOCAL residents have been invited to nominate outstanding seniors citizens for an upcoming Premier’s Award.
Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley has called for nominations that close on 27 August.
“If you know an ordinary senior who does extraordinary things for the community then the Premier’s annual Senior of the Year Award is one way you can celebrate their achievements,” Ms Graley said.
“Previous award winners have included a volunteer at a local centre for disabled adults, a power-lifter, a survivor of the Ash Wednesday fires and an art teacher who gives painting lessons to people in aged-care facilities.”
The nominee must be an Australian citizen, a resident in Victoria, aged 60 or more, and who, in the past two years, has achieved something extraordinary or performed exceptional service to the community.
Nomination forms can be obtained by calling 1300 135 090 or by visiting www.seniors.vic.gov.au.
