Victoria's Jewish and Islamic schools will get cash to bolster security with the state government also giving community organisations funds to combat anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.

The government on Saturday announced an $8 million investment to ensure communities feel "safe, welcome and celebrated" with Jewish and Islamic schools to share in $2 million to improve security.
