The Australian Government is inviting applications through a Targeted Competitive process to apply for funding under the Veteran Wellbeing Grants (VWG) Program.
The VWG Program is an ongoing amalgamation of the Veteran and Community Grants (V&CG) and Supporting Younger Veterans (SYV) Grants programs. The amalgamation, which is in line with recommendations made by the ‘Productivity Commission Report – A better way to support veterans’, provides funding under Stream A Small Grants and Stream B Large Grants.
Objectives
- The objectives of the program are to:
- maintain and improve the independence and quality of life for members of the veteran community by providing funding for projects that sustain or enhance health and social wellbeing
- deliver services to the veteran community that build community capacity for the future that is not already provided by Commonwealth or state funding
- expand on existing services offered to veterans in new regions within Australia or in the development of new services that will be offered in more than one location
- raise awareness of the important issues faced by the veteran community.
