World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) Regional Grants Program 2025

About the program

This has now closed for 2025.

In 2011, the United Nations designated 15 June each year as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD). The Department of Communities (Communities) provides support to community events and activities throughout WA on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day each year. In 2025, Communities is partnering with Northern Suburbs Community Legal Centre to fund WEAAD initiatives delivered in regional areas.

Grants of up to $5,000 are available for eligible organisations to deliver a range of events and activities that raise awareness of elder abuse.
