TENNANT Creek RSL Club has received a $10,000 boost ahead of its huge Anzac Day Services next month.

The funds were awarded under the Federal Government’s  Saluting Their Service (STS) Commemorative Grants Program.

STS is an ongoing national grants program aimed at honouring the history of Australia’s Defence personnel, veterans, and their families.

Across Australia, more than $1 million in grant funding is being shared amongst 90 successful applicants.

Grants are available to a wide range of applicants, including ex-service organisations, community groups, schools and local councils.  

STS Grants come in two categories:

• Community Grants: Up to $10,000 for local, community-based commemorative activities.

• Major Grants: Between $10,001 and $150,000 for significant commemorative projects with national, state, territory, or regional impact.

“Our community has a proud history of service in the Australian Defence Force, and the grants awarded through STS  are a crucial way of honouring our local veterans and their families,” said Member for Lingiari Maron Scrymgour.

“I’m proud the Albanese Labor Government supports veterans and veteran organisations in our community, such as the Tennant Creek RSL.”
