Grants honouring veterans
Gippsland East Nationals MP and Shadow Minister for Veterans, Tim Bull, said grants of up to $30,000 are available to restore war memorials and avenues of honour, while there is up to $50,000 on offer for capital works to build or improve spaces that deliver services to veterans and their families. "We will be forever grateful for those who have served for their country and our memorials honour those brave men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country."
"As Shadow Minister for Veterans, I take great pride in researching and learning the stories of our soldiers (both historical and contemporary), so that future generations not exposed to war on home soil, can thank these brave souls for their service. Our RSLs do an amazing job supporting families and veterans through a range of different support services and initiatives. I highly encourage our local sub-branches to consider applying for this funding opportunity," Mr Bull said.
The Veterans Capital Works and Restoring Community War Memorials and Avenues of Honour grant programs close on February 3, 2025. More information on the application process, eligibility and assessment criteria can be found at Victoria State Government website:
