First Nations organisations know what their communities need – and the Allan Labor Government is making sure they have the facilities to deliver it.
The Aboriginal Community Infrastructure Program supports First Nations organisations to build new, functional and accessible infrastructure – or to repair, renovate or expand existing facilities.
Since 2018, the program has delivered almost $50 million for 127 projects across Victoria, by 60 unique First Nations organisations.
