Nominate an Outstanding Local Senior – NSW Seniors Festival 2026
Our seniors are the backbone of communities across Murray.
They are the volunteers, carers, mentors, organisers and quiet contributors who have spent decades giving to others, often without recognition.
As part of the NSW Seniors Festival (2–15 March), one outstanding senior from each shire across the electorate will be formally recognised.
We are particularly seeking nominations for unsung local heroes — people whose contribution may not be widely known, but whose impact on their community has been meaningful and lasting.
Who can be nominated?
You can nominate any senior who has:
Contributed to local clubs, community groups, charities or services
Supported others consistently over time
Strengthened the social fabric of their town or district
Made a difference without seeking recognition
