AVCAT is delighted to welcome generous new sponsor Downer
Downer is sponsoring three new scholarships. The Downer Defence Australian Veterans’ Family Scholarships are for the children and grandchildren of Australian ex-serving veterans.

This partnership demonstrates Downer’s dedication to Australian Veterans and enhances our ability to make a meaningful impact in the lives of veteran families.’
