In 2021, iLA was appointed as the National Grants Manager for the administration of the Village Hubs project, an initiative of the Australian Government’s Seniors Connected Program, established to implement the Government’s 2019 election policy: ‘More Support for Older Australians’.
iLA established 12 Village Hubs nationally and worked with them to reduce the impact of loneliness and social isolation amongst older people through co-designed, community-led initiatives.
Although the Village Hubs Grants Program ended in June 2024, many of the hubs continue to serve their community to help reduce loneliness and social isolation.
