$12,000 funding boost for Warrnambool RSL's veteran services area

The state government funds would include work on the entrance area and reconfiguring existing office spaces to add new facilities to support veterans.

It's one of 50 projects across the state to share in $1.1 million aimed at improving the lives of veterans and their families.

"We are backing this project to increase facilities to give better access to essential services for veterans," Ms Tierney said.

"I am pleased to support improvements to facilities where groups such as Warrnambool RSL continue their important work, delivering services to veterans and their families."

The Victoria Remembers Grant Program will also direct funding to an exhibition at the Shrine of Remembrance that will explore children's experiences of war through the lens of popular culture.
