A change to the terminology used
In recent years the Fund has been moving away from referring to the individual focus areas as Fund 1, Fund 2, Fund 4, Fund 5 and Fund 7.
In 2024 the terminology used to described the individual focus areas has changed. Please note the actual focus areas have not changed; it is only the terminology that is used to describe each of these areas that has changed.
The changes are as follows:
Fund 1 will be referred to as Supporting Victorians in Need
Fund 2 will be referred to as Strengthening Victorian Public Hospitals
Fund 4 will be referred to as Progressing Education & Training in Australia
Fund 5 will be referred to as Furthering Faith & Religious Endeavours in Australia
Fund 7 will be referred to as Aiding Other Australian Charitable Causes
The funding guidelines have been updated to reflect the changes listed above. Additionally, there have been some updates to the guidelines for 2024.
