Grant Award View - GA126489
Support for Defence personnel, their families and local communities
The purpose of the Grant is to provide funding to not-for-profit organisations to:
• support Defence families to come together for mutual support, education, connection with the
community they live in and support for their overall personal and social wellbeing;
• support Defence families to engage with each other and their local communities to minimise the
challenges and enhance the opportunities that come with the unique military lifestyle;
• empower Defence families to thrive by giving them the confidence they need to succeed in
managing the Defence way of life; and
• support community capacity building by identifying and nurturing partnership opportunities to
support the delivery for a strengthened sense of community for Defence families, reducing the
feeling of isolation that a posting can bring.
The Grant is being provided as part of Family Support Funding Program, financial year 2020-21
