Organisations that support Australian Defence Force (ADF) families across Australia will share in $1.5 million to deliver programs and services within their local communities.
Minister for Defence Personnel Darren Chester said the Family Support Funding Program (FSFP) enables defence families to connect and interact with each other and the community in a variety of ways.
"Defence families make incredible sacrifices and this funding contributes to a strong sense of community and a support network for those feeling the disruption and change from posting to a new location," Mr Chester said.
"These grants will support defence families' wellbeing and promote the sharing of ideas and information to help manage the demands of military life and allow families to settle into their local communities.
"Congratulations to the 44 grant recipients and thank you for all you do for our Defence families.
