A program to support young women into careers in the construction industry, support and advice for renters from culturally and linguistically diverse communities experiencing domestic and family violence, and a workshop on healthy eating and body image for girls are some of the initiatives being funded in this round.
The community organisations receiving grants are spread across Queensland from the south-east to the state’s far north.
