Supporting Community Groups

Myself and my team greatly appreciate the work local organisations, volunteers and community groups do to support people across our region.

This form helps our office better understand your organisation, the services you provide, any current challenges or emerging needs, and how we may be able to assist through advocacy, information, referrals or State Government support opportunities.

We welcome your feedback and value ongoing engagement with community organisations across the Bega electorate.

If you haven't already, have a look at the Our Community Group website for resources and information for Not-for-Profits that may be useful.
