The Positive Ageing and Wellbeing Awards are open to individuals and teams working in Victorian Local Government that have made significant contributions to positive ageing and wellbeing, with councils nominating in the following two categories:

• Outstanding Program or Project – Grant-based (externally funded)
• Outstanding Program or Project – Non-grant (Council funded)

The grant-based category is open to initiatives that are externally funded while the non-grant-based category is open to initiatives that are resourced from a local government’s budget.

The awards are not restricted to those working in aged and disability services but rather are open to anyone working towards improved health and wellbeing outcomes for people as they age.
