Veterans' and Families' Hubs Program Expression of Interest and Business Case – Bendigo

Overview

This grant opportunity forms part of the Veterans’ and Families’ Hubs Program. The Australian Government has committed $5 million to establish a new Veterans’ and Families’ Hub in the Bendigo region of Victoria. Since 2019, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) has provided funding to a number of organisations to establish a national network of Veterans’ and Families’ Hubs (Hubs), with the locations selected by the Australian Government. The network has continued to expand as a result of further Australian Government commitments and funding tranches since the inception of the Program. Hubs focus on coordinating services and support to improve or help maintain the wellbeing of veterans and their families. Hubs facilitate access to integrated, coordinated wellbeing services tailored to the unique needs of the veterans and families living in the Hubs’ regions. This grant opportunity is intended to be delivered with a grant to a single lead organisation to develop and operate a ‘full-service’ Hub in the Bendigo region. This grant opportunity is not intended to fund multiple smaller projects or ‘hub like’ facilities. You can find out more information about Hubs on the DVA website at dva.gov.au/vfhubs or via the Grant Opportunity Guidelines.
