About the Liveable Communities Program
The Liveable Communities Grants program offers $4 million in funding over four years for innovative projects that help older people, people with disability and carers to live active, healthy lives and access their community freely and safely.
The NSW Government created the program to capture the energy of Australian innovators and focus it on defining what it will mean to age well in the 21st century.
