The Queensland Government is committed to building age-friendly communities where older people are connected to their community and the people and the services that matter to them.

The Queensland Government is partnering with Council on the Ageing Queensland to deliver the Age-friendly Seniors Month Grant Program. The Grants will provide seed funding of between $5,000 to $15,000 per initiative to local government, community organisations and not-for-profit organisations to deliver initiatives in their local community that work towards an age-friendly Queensland.

Total funding for the Grants in 2026-2027 is $100,000 to reduce social isolation, improve access to services, or foster intergenerational connections for older Queenslanders.

One-off funding from $5,000 up to $15,000 may be available for initiatives up to 12 months.

You may apply for an Age-friendly Seniors Month Grant if you are:

• a local government council
• a community organisation
• a not-for-profit organisation.

Individuals, sole traders, federal and state government agencies are NOT eligible to apply.

To be eligible for funding, applicants must also:

• be located in Queensland
• be a registered charity, an incorporated association or have an Australian Business Number (ABN)
• hold public liability insurance of a minimum of $20 million (current and ongoing)
• have met acquittal conditions for previous Queensland Government grant funding (if applicable)
