Local veterans organisation SailingOn WA has been awarded $27,679 through the Cook Labor Government's Veterans Facilities Fund to support the installation and fit-out of its replacement facility.

SailingOn WA does important work supporting veterans and their families, providing opportunities to connect, build friendships and improve wellbeing through sailing and community activities.

This funding will help the organisation establish a welcoming and functional base to continue delivering its programs and activities for veterans and their families across Bateman and beyond.

Organisations like SailingOn WA play a vital role in supporting those who have served our country, helping veterans stay active, connected and involved in their community.

I'm pleased to support this investment, which recognises the important contribution SailingOn WA makes to the lives of local veterans and their families.

Investing in facilities for WA veterans

The Veterans Facilities Fund delivers on a key election commitment of the Cook Labor Government to upgrade and revitalise facilities that support veterans across Western Australia.

By investing in organisations like SailingOn WA, we're helping ensure veterans and their families have access to welcoming, accessible spaces where they can connect, participate and feel supported.

I look forward to seeing the new facility take shape and the positive difference it will make for our local veteran community.
