APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN FOR VETERAN AND COMMUNITY GRANTS

Federal Member for Hume Angus Taylor is encouraging local ex-service and community organisations to apply for project grants under the Veteran and Community Grants program to support the health and wellbeing of local veterans and their families. “The latest round of the Veteran and Community Grants program is now open for activities and services that improve the health and wellbeing of members of the veteran community,” Mr Taylor said. “Grants can provide seed funding for projects that promote a healthy lifestyle, help veterans to remain living independently in their own homes, reduce social isolation, support carers and improve access to community services.”

“Remembrance Day is approaching and can be a deeply emotional time for veterans and their families, and some may find this time of year difficult.” “It’s so important that as a community, we provide support to veterans and their families any way we can.” Ex-service and community organisations are invited to apply for grants of up to $20,000 for local, community-based projects and activities. A small number of large grants of up to $150,000 are available for projects that deliver wellbeing support services and activities of broad-scale benefit to the veteran community. “I encourage any local ex-service or community organisations with ideas for practical projects and activities that support safe environments for veterans and their families to connect and engage to consider making an application.” Grant applications will close 29 January 2021. For information about how to apply see the Community Grants Hub website: www.communitygrants.gov.au. Assistance with grant application queries is also available by phone: 1800 020 283 or by email: support@communitygrants.gov.au.

Closes 30-Nov-2020PurposeAs a part of WIRES emergency preparedness program, they have established a new grant to cover the costs of vaccinations for vet clinic staff nationally, up to $50,000.OverviewThe emergency events of 2019/2020 took an unpresented toll on wildlife and wildlife habitat. Even before those events many species including the Spectacled, Grey-headed and Christmas Island Flying-foxes were already classified as vulnerable to extinction or endangered. The devastating drought and fires impacted billions of animals and the Grey-

Page | 2

Grants Available in November 2020headed Flying-fox was identified as one of 119 species requiring urgent intervention. Flying-foxes are important long range pollinators and crucial to healthy ecosystems.This program is specifically designed to increase veterinary capacity to treat flying-foxes, as veterinary staff must be vaccinated to treat flying-foxes. Wildlife rescuers and carers rely heavily on the generosity of veterinary clinics and wildlife hospitals to triage and treat injured flying-foxes. Flying-foxes often come into care with severe injuries from entanglement and swift treatment is crucial to their survival.Flying-foxes are highly susceptible to heat stress, with mass deaths and mass rescues unfortunately becoming more common in summer months, as entire colonies can be severely affected.WIRES encourages veterinary staff near colonies that are keen to regularly help treat flying-foxes, to become vaccinated and help save these critical species.This Vaccination Grant Program includes the initial vaccinations required, which will need to be administered by a medical professional. Applicants will also need to discuss the plans with their doctor to confirm their doctor supports them receiving the vaccinations.Contact DetailsKristie

MEDIA RELEASE Monday 9th

November 2020 FREE PRESCHOOL FOR FAMILIES Working families and young children in the Goulburn electorate will benefit from a year of free preschool with the NSW Government announcing funding for community preschools in 2021. This $120 million commitment will help more than 44,000 three to five year olds attending community preschool. Member for Goulburn Wendy Tuckerman said the free preschool program has been supporting families since the beginning of the pandemic and was providing certainty for parents into the future. “Since the initial announcement of our COVID-19 response, the free preschool program has saved countless services and jobs in the region while keeping our children learning during their most important years,” Mrs Tuckerman said. This funding will assist families to get on with working and support them to divert family income into other essentials. “Families will have certainty moving into 2021, knowing that regardless of their financial situation their child will be able to continue with their preschool education,” said Mrs Tuckerman. Early childhood services opting into this program must continue to remain open and available to provide education and care. This is particularly important for children as families return to work.

RAS Foundation Community Futures Grant

As bushfires ravage our countryside and drought continues to decimate our farming communities the RASF is focussing on recovery for rural and regional New South Wales. The 2020 Community Futures Grant program is offering assistance to bushfire and drought impacted areas, with funds for rebuilding and support for vital community projects.

What is the RASF Community Futures Grant?

The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW Foundation (RASF) is offering an opportunity for community-minded people to be awarded up to $25,000 in funding for drought and bushfire recovery community projects in their local area.

Previously funding has gone to projects including air-conditioning in the local hall to portable yard panels for the showground or a pop-up gazebo, satisfying community needs and benefiting many. This year the funding is targeting regional recovery following the destruction of community facilities and projects devastated by the ongoing drought and current bushfire crisis.

Eligibility criteria

The 2020 Grant program is focussed on bushfire and drought recovery projects, to be eligible applicants must also be a resident of the rural NSW community the project will benefit.

What types of projects are eligible?

The RASF invites ideas that deliver strong community benefits and result in enhanced economic and social outcomes for your community.

Applicants will be passionate about rural and regional NSW and have a good understanding of any issues affecting their community.

Infrastructure for local showgrounds and Show Societies are eligible. The improvements must demonstrate that they go beyond benefiting just the local Show Society in running the local Show, but rather enabling broader use by other community groups to run on-going projects or programs.
