A total of 14 outstanding individuals, businesses and local governments across Western Australia have been named as finalists for the 2025 WA Seniors Awards.
This year’s finalists include advocates who have gone above and beyond for their local communities including supporting women and children escaping family violence, reducing social isolation, fostering intergenerational connection, boosting age-friendly initiatives, championing organ donations, preserving cultural heritage and raising awareness of elder abuse.
The WA Seniors Awards acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of exceptional seniors, as well as seniors’ advocates, businesses and local governments that support older Western Australians to age well in their community and have a high quality of life no matter where they live.
“The WA Seniors Awards are a fantastic initiative to celebrate the outstanding contributions older Western Australians make to our local communities throughout Westen Australia,” said WA Aged Care and Seniors Minister, Simone McGurk.
“This year’s Awards shine a light on the incredible projects supporting older Western Australians to age well in their communities and the passionate people behind these projects who make it possible.
“The Cook Government is committed to ensuring our communities are age-friendly so that all Western Australians can have a high quality of life, no matter where they live.”
