Geographic area

We encourage local organisations addressing issues or delivering services in the Latrobe Valley region to apply. Our geographical area of focus extends from Morwell in the east to Trafalgar in the west (including satellite towns) with a particular emphasis on those towns located closest to the Yallourn Power Station and Mine.

Selection Criteria

EnergyAustralia has two priority areas for funding requests. To be considered, activities should address one of these areas:

• Education: Funding aimed at promoting education and knowledge acquisition. This can include programs with a social or environmental focus and organisations which support career or skill development. 
• Social Inclusion: Funding aimed at facilitating social inclusion. This is aimed at initiatives that support community cohesion and can include such things as men’s sheds, upgrading communal facilities, improving local amenities and supporting vulnerable community members.

• Political organisations. 
• Organisations with an exclusive religious focus, unless they benefit the broader community.
