          <by role="member" id="3404">The Hon. J.A. DARLEY:</by>  I was recently contacted by a constituent, who is a senior, with regard to the Seniors Housing Grant. My constituent had seen an advertisement on the grant and sought clarification from the local member as to the eligibility requirements. Unfortunately, he was advised incorrectly and it was not until he was speaking to his real estate agent that he discovered that he would not be eligible to receive the grant. Whilst I understand that RevenueSA has information on the website that clearly outlines the eligibility criteria, many seniors either do not have access to a computer or would not think to go onto the website for further information.</text>
        <text id="201409247f1c8d12c2e94c2da0000128">Could the minister advise what consideration was given when formulating an advertising strategy for the Seniors Housing Grant to ensure that the message would be delivered effectively to the target audience of seniors? Can the minister provide details of how information on the Seniors Housing Grant has been disseminated so that their target audience—that is, seniors—can access information about the grant?</text>
