Singing in a choir can be a great help for people who have aphasia or who want to participate in community activities.

Creativity Australia is offering opportunities to start or join a choir, or to train as a choir leader.

$10,000 grants available

The With One Voice movement is about strengthening communities and inspiring individuals to find their voice. To make it easier for communities to start their own choir, Creativity Australia is offering a limited number of seed funding grants.

The second round of grants are now open. Read more about the grants.

$2,500 scholarships available

Creativity Australia and Community Music Victoria have partnered up and designed a training course that supports community choirs and the With One Voice social inclusion program.

I am a member of a community choir - it's an absolute joy to sing get together and sing each week and then have the opportunity to perform as a group in the community!
