Nominate Now - 2023 Senior Citizen of the Year Award

Nominations for the 2023 Senior Citizen of the Year Award are now open.

As part of NSW Senior Week, the award recognises community members aged 60 and older who have made a special contribution(s) to our community.

Moree Plains Shire Council’s Community Development/Liaison Officer Jacqui Moore said the award is a great way to say thank you and to show a senior how much they are appreciated.

“Many of our older residents go above and beyond for others, enhancing our amazing communities through their tireless efforts. They may have volunteered their time for charity, made a difference in someone’s life or have been passionate about a cause that has made an impactful change.

If you know someone exceptional like this, please nominate them, so we can collectively celebrate their efforts,” said Ms. Moore.

Nominations close at 5 pm on Monday 20 March 2023 with the winner announced at the Seniors Week Luncheon, 29 March 2023.
