ANZAC Day Proceeds Fund

The ANZAC Day Proceeds Fund provides support to the veteran community through the provision of funding for a range of welfare related activities. Funding is provided to assist organisations whose principal objective is to provide welfare to the ex-service community. In April 2020 the Victorian Government committed funds to support the Victorian veteran community impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. For a proportion of the funding, priority will be given to projects that are responding to COVID-19 impacts. There is one funding round per year.
