Helping seniors secure their homes

We are helping eligible homeowners aged 60 and over to secure their home by providing financial assistance of up to $10,000 for the installation of security measures.

The initiative will help subsidise practical home security improvements such as:

• strengthening window locks and shutters
• installing CCTV cameras
• addressing other security weaknesses.

To be eligible, applicants must be:

• homeowners living in Townsville, Mount Isa,  Cairns, Toowoomba, Tablelands and Mareeba Local Government Areas
• aged 60 years or over; and
