The countdown is on for Victorians to nominate a senior in their community, with only three weeks left to nominate for the 2018 Victorian Senior of the Year Awards.
The Victorian Senior of the Year awards celebrate older Victorians who support and inspire others, and honour the skills and support older Victorians have given to the community.
Nominations for the Victorian Senior of the Year Awards close on Friday 20 July and award recipients will be honoured at Government House at the 36th Victorian Seniors Festival in October.
The annual Awards honour the time, skills and support older Victorians have given to the community since turning 60. They also recognise businesses that create age-friendly environments.
