Helping seniors secure their homes

We are providing financial assistance of up to $10,000 to help eligible homeowners aged 60 and over install security measures to secure their home.

This assistance will help you pay for practical home security improvements such as:

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

Eligibility criteria

To be eligible, you must meet all these criteria:

• be a homeowner living in Townsville, Mount Isa, Cairns, Toowoomba, Tablelands or Mareeba local government area
• be aged 60 years or over
• hold a current Pensioner Concession Card or Veteran Card.

Applying for assistance

Your application must be for your principal place of residence (i.e. the home you own and live in).

We will prioritise your application if you have immediate security requirements.
