NEW REBATES TO HELP CENTRAL VICTORIAN SCHOOLS VISIT CANBERRA

28 March 2023

Federal Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters is encouraging local schools to take advantage of new rebates to visit the nation’s capital in 2023.

New rebates for schools and available via the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate (PACER) program will make it more affordable for schools and students across the country to visit Canberra this year as part of their civics and citizenship education.

The program includes visits to Australia’s Parliament, the Australian War Memorial, the Museum of Australian Democracy, and the National Electoral Education Centre at Old Parliament House.

I strongly encourage all schools in the Bendigo electorate to consider a visit to Canberra and see Australia’s democracy in action.

The additional funding will also apply to those schools which have already completed visits through the PACER initiative in 2023.
