There is a trend of increasingmembership parallel to the ageing of the NT population. The difference between the 2009-10 actual and the estimatesfor 2009-10 and 2010-11 is due to methodology for estimation. At the time that the 2009-10 and 2010-11 forecastswere submitted to Treasury, an estimated rather than calculated forecast was used based on a clean up of thedatabase underway at that time. The Pensioner Concession database has since been updated and the actualnumber of members was higher than the forecast estimate and will be higher than the published estimate for both2009-10 and 2010-11. The increase in actual membership is consistent with an increasing population aged 65 yearsand over.2 The 2009-10 actual and 2010-11 estimate reflect larger grants provided to fewer projects, but not a reduction inservice.The Northern Territory Pensioner and Carer Concession Scheme (NTPCCS) had21 264 members during 2009-10. This is an increase of 603 on 2008-09.Seniors Month Grants Program - 44 grants were issued to assist community organisationsand businesses to host events and activities during Seniors Month in August 2009.and craft activities, come and try events and day tours.The Aged and Disability Program continued to build on the success of Seniors Month2009 during 2009-10.The Seniors Card Scheme had 14 754 active members during 2009-10 which is anincrease of 1661 members from 2008-09.Department Health and Families 145
