Each year, the VPASWS provides financial grants to affiliated clubs. These grants are made possible through the support of our major grant partners:
The Provident Fund – Victoria Police
The Police Association
BankVic
Applications for Grants for 2025 will open again shortly. Clubs will be informed of the process and a link provided to complete the application.
BankVic was established in 1974 as the Police Credit Cooperative, to improve the financial wellbeing of Victoria Police members and their families. Since then, the bank’s membership has grown to 120,000 and expanded to the emergency services and health sectors. As a member-owned bank, profits are reinvested to provide better value banking to members and support community initiatives. Since 2010, BankVic has contributed over $3.5 million in donations and sponsorships to non-profit organisations affiliated with the police, emergency and health services. BankVic’s products and services are designed with members’ unique needs in mind to make banking easier and more accessible for those who protect and serve our community.
The main activities of the VPPF are to provide relief and assistance to Victoria Police (VP) members, ex members and their families via VP Welfare. The supports offered are financial, counselling, home visits, emergency accommodation and transport to and from medical appointments.
