THE HON. WARREN SNOWDON MP
Minister for Defence Science and Personnel
Friday, 4 July 2008 087/2008
MILLION DOLLAR BOOST
FOR DEFENCE FAMILY SUPPORT INITIATIVES
Defence family support groups across Australia will receive a total of $1.04
million in Family Support Funding grants, Minister for Defence Science and
Personnel, the Hon Warren Snowdon MP announced today.
“The Government recognises the important contribution and sacrifices made
by families who support the men and women of the Australian Defence
Force,” Mr Snowdon said.
“Those who have pursued a military career have chosen not only a job but
also a special way of life; and for their families, this can mean frequent
postings around Australia and a significant amount of time on their own while
their loved ones are deployed on operations and exercises.
“Defence Family Support Funding Program grants provide money to develop
programs and activities that best suit the needs of ADF families within their
local communities.
“Fifty four Defence family support groups in all states and territories, as well
as in Papua New Guinea and Malaysia, will benefit from over a million dollars
in Defence grants this financial year.
“The grants assist Defence family support groups to utilise neighbourhood
houses and community centres as well as undertake programs and activities
such as producing local newsletters, craft groups and playgroups, as well as
assisting children with special needs.
“These important projects will help Defence families stay connected with their
local communities and assist them in dealing with the challenges of a highly
mobile Defence lifestyle.
“Families are resilient and support each other through the friendships that
develop from these projects.” Mr Snowdon said.
