JANELLE Saffin MP is encouraging Lismore Electorate residents to celebrate the positive role seniors play in the community by nominating them for the 2025 NSW Seniors Festival Local Achievement Awards.
The festival and the awards celebrate the contributions and achievements of seniors.
“If you know a senior who helps make our community diverse, inspiring and active, then I encourage you to nominate them for acknowledgement of their contribution,” Ms Saffin says.
“This annual festival is about celebrating the positive impact of older people in our families and society.”
Nominations are now open for the awards program, one of many initiatives the NSW Government promotes to support the state’s seniors living happy, healthy, and active lives.
Winners of the Local Achievement Awards will be announced during the NSW Seniors Festival which runs from 3 to 16 March 2025
The awards program is part of an exciting schedule of events across the state.
By highlighting seniors’ continued efforts in helping the Lismore Electorate thrive, we are continuing to challenge ageism and empower seniors to overcome social stigmas.

Nomination forms available from the Lismore Electorate Office at 55 Carrington Street, or by emailing lismore@parliament.nsw.gov.au
