Great work Luka!

We're halfway through our End of Financial Year campaign and there's still time to increase your impact, with donations made by 30th June matched*!

Your support will help students, like Luka from Hastings Education Fund, who like three in four CEF students, needed to leave home to pursue further education or employment.

Luka relocated over 200km away from home to study Medicine, with no financial support from family. Support from CEF meant he could cover relocation costs and year-long placement expenses to focus on his goal of becoming a doctor in rural Australia.

Your donation by 30th June will give rural and regional youth, like Luka, every chance to look forward to the future.
