Invitation for ex-service organisations to apply for advocacy funding

Applications for the 2024-25 round of the Building Excellence in Support and Training (BEST) grants program are now open.

Ex-service organisations (ESOs) are invited to apply for a share in $4.731 million in funding to support them to provide compensation and wellbeing advocacy services to veterans and families.

ESOs are a great support to local veteran communities. Many offer advocacy services, providing assistance about a range of veteran issues from advice about entitlements, health and wellbeing services, and claims.

In the 2023-2024 funding round, $4.551 million was provided to 109 successful applicants, located across the country in every state and territory of Australia. 

Apply online at grants.gov.au before 9:00pm AEDT on 29 February 2024.
