Each community group has received a grant between $1,000 and $5,000 to support the efforts of their volunteers.
Federal Member for Casey, Aaron Violi said it s a privilege to be able to give back to our local volunteer-run organisations.
“Our region is made up of many incredible volunteer-run community groups who give their time generously – whether it is keeping us safe in times of emergency, keeping our local sporting clubs running or providing places for support and connection.
“I’m looking forward to seeing how these grants help local groups to continue supporting volunteers and our broader community through their work.
