Have you ever had a flight delayed due to camels on the runway? 🐪 Our 2025-27 Regional Airports Development Scheme (RADS) grants have landed – delivering $3.6 million in funding to remote airports for aviation infrastructure that supports safe, accessible air services. A grant to the Punmu Community Airport will be used to upgrade airport fencing to prevent camel intrusions.

Congratulations Lilliya! 🥳👏 Although Lilliya had already obtained her automatic driver's licence, an opportunity to undertake an electrical apprenticeship meant she needed her manual licence. 🚗 Funded by our Driving Access and Equity Program, the McGovern Foundation assisted and supported Lilliya on her licence journey and she recently passed her manual practical driving assessment, opening the door for her career change. 🤩 For more stories of change visit: https://lnkd.in/gA3xhYpC
