Community Bank Home Hill & Ayr was proud to take part in the Burdekin Shire Council’s Seniors Month Expo & Luncheon, held on Wednesday, 16 October at the Burdekin Memorial Hall.
The event once again brought together local seniors, community organisations, and service providers to celebrate Queensland Seniors Month and showcase the many supports available in the region. With attendance growing each year, the move to the Burdekin Memorial Hall proved the perfect choice to accommodate the wide range of information stalls and the strong community turnout.
The Expo featured a variety of exhibitors offering advice and resources around aged care, health and wellbeing, finance, and community support. Our team enjoyed connecting with attendees, sharing practical financial tips, and providing information about how Bendigo Bank is helping protect seniors from scams.
Scams targeting older Australians continue to be a growing concern, and Bendigo Bank is committed to helping the community stay informed and vigilant. The bank’s ongoing education campaigns aim to give seniors the knowledge and confidence to identify scams and protect their finances.
During the Expo, our team spoke with many locals about common scam warning signs, such as unexpected calls, suspicious investment offers, and requests for personal details. We also shared information on how to report scams and get support through Bendigo Bank’s dedicated security and fraud assistance services.
Acting Branch Manager Jade Bywaters said the event was a great opportunity to connect with the community and show support for local seniors.
“At Community Bank Home Hill & Ayr, we’re passionate about helping our seniors feel confident and supported in managing their finances,” Jade said.
“Events like the Seniors Month Expo allow us to have those important face-to-face conversations — whether it’s about everyday banking needs, planning for the future, or staying safe from scams. It’s all part of our commitment to being a trusted, local bank that’s here for our community.”
The Seniors Month Expo & Luncheon was once again a wonderful success — full of connection, conversation, and care for our older community members. Community Bank Home Hill & Ayr thanks the Burdekin Shire Council’s Community Development team for hosting another valuable event and looks forward to continuing to support initiatives that celebrate and strengthen the local community.
