Description:

The Australian Government is inviting national ex-service organisations (ESOs) through a closed non-competitive process to apply for grant funding under the Grants-in-Aid (GIA) program, which forms part of Program 2.4 Veterans’ Community Care and Support.  

The GIA program aims to support the role of national ESOs to provide coordinating and representational support for the Australian veteran and Defence community. 

The program is open to national ESOs by invitation and provides funding to encourage co-operation and communication between the ex-service community, ESOs and the Australian Government. Funding for national ESOs aims to encourage the national advancement of the objectives of ESOs.

The objective of the program is to fund discrete projects or activities by national ESOs that address a specific problem or issue and achieve a clear benefit to the ex-service and Defence community. 

The intended outcomes of the program are to:

  • assist national ESOs to support their branches, sub-branches and affiliated organisations in performing compensation or wellbeing advocacy or wellbeing support work
  • assist national ESOs to advance the objectives of all ESOs more generally
  • assist national ESOs to improve co-operation and communication between national bodies, branches, sub branches and affiliated organisations on repatriation and military compensation matters
  • encourage co-operation and communication between the ex-service community, ESOs and the Australian Government.
