We are committed to devoting time and resources to projects, initiatives and activities that have a positive effect on our community.
As Victoria’s principal membership organisation, we take seriously our broader obligations as a responsible corporate citizen and will continue to proactively support the community in which we live.
We support projects that aim to improve quality of life, relieve suffering and disadvantage, improve safety and security, encourage innovation and community development, and protect and preserve the environment.
To seek financial support for community activities that benefit the Victorian community.
The generosity of our staff and the service they provide to the Victorian community is integral to RACV’s mission.
RACV staff also provide financial support to our community work via donations to the RACV Community Foundation.
RACV has been closely involved in the welfare of veterans since World War I, when RACV members met hospital ships at Station Pier to welcome soldiers home and take the wounded to Caulfield Military Hospital. RACV continues this tradition by helping to transport veterans every Anzac Day.
The RACV Australia Day Festival is held on January 26 in the Kings Domain in St Kilda Road, Melbourne. One of the major features of the day is a display of more than 100 vintage, veteran and classic vehicles. The event features free activities, food stalls and fabulous entertainment.
The RACV supports Blue Ribbon Day every year on September 29. Blue Ribbon Day honours the heroic actions of police who have given their lives in the line of duty. It also provides an opportunity to thank the men and women in blue for serving us so well. Visit the Blue Ribbon Day Foundation for more information.
The RACV Insurance Award for Excellence at the annual Fire Awareness Awards is for the most outstanding project across all of the award categories. The recipient receives $10,000. The RACV City Club hosts the awards event, which is held in December.
