Community Led Grants

Overview

Under the IAS, the Department considers grant proposals that address a need for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Proposals must be developed with the target community or group who will be impacted by the activity. You can discuss an initial proposal with the Department at any time by contacting your local NIAA Regional Network Office, or by calling 1800 079 098. As of 1 December 2018, the Community Led Grants Application process is changing. The first step for potential applicants is to contact the local PM&C Regional Network Office to organise a time to discuss the proposed activity. You must also submit an initial proposal form that outlines the proposed activity. You can submit the form before, during or after meeting with the local office.  The local office can also assist with completing the form.
