Preserve Victoria’s heritage. Protect what you love.

We are an independent not-for-profit organisation dedicated to conserving and celebrating Victoria’s rich heritage. Since 1956, the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) has safeguarded many of the state’s most iconic buildings, gardens, landscapes, and collections. With your help, we can continue to protect these treasures for future generations.

Your donation – whether a one-off gift or a recurring contribution – directly supports vital conservation work across Victoria. Join our community of supporters and help us keep our heritage alive.

Every donation makes a difference.
