How do you save Five Million Dollars?.
Easy…. Community Partnerships…
Based on our calculations using the Business Council of Australia’s “cost of dropping out” research, the combined CBVCAL programmes across Mitchell and Macedon have supported 109 young people as at 31st December 2006 and have saved the community between 4.03 and 6.54 Million dollars in lost productivity. An amazing set of numbers.
The Kyneton/Macedon project alone has saved the National and State budgets between 2.96 and 4.80 Million dollars. We are working very hard to get extra resources for this amazing programme.
The Macedon programme alone is catering for approxiately 60% of the total “at-risk” population of 15-24 year olds, [based on original 2003/04 figures] which is approximately 2.5 % of the TOTAL 15-19 population.
