Information for Senior Members.
Would you recognise the signs of stroke?
If one of your family, friends or work colleagues had a stroke would you know what to do? Would you even know how to recognise
a stroke? You would have a much better chance if you used the FAST test to ask:
Face Can the person smile, has their mouth or eyes drooped
Arms
Can the person raise both arms?
Speech Can the person speak clearly and understand what you say?
Time Act FAST and immediately call 000.
SAFETY AND SECURITY REBATE FOR WA SENIORS CARD HOLDERS
Hon Robyn McSweeney MLC, Minister for Child Protection; Community Services;Women's Interest; Seniors and Volunteering; recently
announced another major project as part of the state governments commitment to a Better Deal for seniors. The Safety and Security
Rebate scheme delivers WA Seniors Card holders a rebate of up to $200 per household towards installing or buying home security
devices. It is a $10 million investment in seniors wellbeing and promoting a safe and active retirement.
If you have a WA Seniors Card and have not already made a claim for the Safety and Security Rebate, you are eligible. You
can only make one claim per household (i.e. if you are living with several Seniors Card holders, only one card holder can
apply for the rebate). Renters need to get landlord approval before buying and installing any device. You cant make a claim
if you live in a communal arrangement such as an aged care facility.
Seniors Safety and Security Rebate claim forms are available at Australia Post outlets. Forms are also available from the
Seniors Card Centre, Level 1, Albert Facey House, 469 Wellington Street, Perth or you can call the Seniors Card Centre on

The rebate can be used for buying and installing a home alarm system, security screen door, security window screen, security
