CARING FOR AGEING IN RURAL AUSTRALIA
2010 GUIDELINES
Caring for Ageing in Rural Australia is a national small grants program offering over $275,000 in
grants to assist in caring for the aged in rural Australia. Support from three philanthropic trusts
makes this annual program possible. About the Benefactors J.O. & J.R. Wicking, Charles and
Sylvia Viertel & the Estate of the Late Harold Gordon Jones:
The J.O. & J.R. Wicking Trust was established in March 2003. John Wicking was one of the great
modernisers of Australian business. Both John and Janet Wicking were notable philanthropists and
benefactors to many institutions during their lifetime, particularly in the areas of vision impairment, the
arts, and microsurgery. They had great concern for the needs of the ageing. The Trust welcomes
applications from across Australia
The Sylvia & Charles Viertel Charitable Foundation Charles Viertel had a strong commitment to
helping people who helped themselves, offering a hand of support when the need was great. He gave
quietly and without expectation of public recognition. Sylvia married Charles when they were both in their
40’s and she preferred to remain in the background as a home maker and keen gardener. Sylvia suffered
from a debilitating eye disease that initiated Charles' interest in the establishment of a Chair of
Ophthalmology at the University of Queensland. Their contribution to this program is for the benefit of rural
Queensland.
The Estate of the Late Harold Gordon Jones will support projects in the townships of the Gilgandra and
Warren Shires, New South Wales. A list of specific towns is located on the back of this page.
