The Ballardong Charitable Trust
The Ballardong Aboriginal Corporation doesn’t provide grants or payments to individuals. The Ballardong Charitable Trust is a separate fund that exists to benefit eligible members of the Ballardong agreement group. It is not run by our corporation, and you don’t need to be a member of our corporation to apply.
The Ballardong Charitable Trust is managed by Australian Executor Trustees. For more information please call them between 9am and 1pm each day on 1800 078 680.
Funeral support
A payment of up to $2000 may be made towards the funeral costs of a deceased Ballardong member.
A total of $200,000 is available for this policy which is funded from the funeral account.
This policy was created specifically for the payment of funeral director’s costs and AET will make payment directly to the funeral director upon receipt of a tax invoice. Costs can be refunded to any other person upon production of a receipt, however AET will first ensure the funeral director has received full payment before consideration can be given to refunding any individual.
Costs for a wake cannot be considered within the scope of this policy, nor is assistance available for members to travel to attend a funeral.
Applications require approval by a majority of advisory trustees before funds can be released.
