🛻You can apply to get a 20% rebate on your personal vehicle registration from FY 2025-2026.

🛻You can claim this rebate for up to 2 light vehicles that are registered in your name.

🛻Personal vehicles under 4.5 tonnes like cars, wagons, motorcycles, utes and light vans are all eligible for this rebate.

🛻If your work vehicle is in your name, it’s eligible for a rebate, but vehicles registered to organisations aren’t eligible.

Whilst Neighbourhood Houses Victoria were recently denied the request for extra funding from the State Government, we now find ourselves supporting their initiative by helping our community navigate the process of claiming the Rego Rebate.

Whilst we have been encouraged to not assist, given the extra pressure on our staff and volunteers, as well as gaining no financial support, the team at Girgarre Community Cottage are putting our community above all else.

The only request we have to provide the assistance, is that instead of walking in randomly throughout our opening hours, we would like you to attend The Cottage at the following time:

TUESDAY 16TH JUNE from 12PM-3PM

Please bring along the following information:
🛻Licence
