2024 Pitch

Funds Raised: $26,100

Olivia’s Place pitched at the 2024 Equity and Inclusion event in Melbourne for funding to establish a local hub in the LaTrobe area which accounts for 75% of Olivia’s Place’s case load. The hub location will not only relieve travel time and costs for the families but also allow for a more nuanced service approach that is reflective of the immediate needs felt in the Latrobe area.
