About the event: Australian Federal Government Coronavirus Support Package

The Federal Government is currently providing an immediate $100 million funding injection to more than 300 charities and community organisations around the country to support Australians in the wake of the coronavirus economic downturn.

Senator The Honourable Anne Ruston is responsible for the allocation of these funds to charities and not-for-profit organisations in Australia as part of the Government’s Coronavirus support package.
