Murray–Darling Basin Indigenous River Rangers Grant Opportunity and Guidelines

Overview

Murray–Darling Basin Indigenous River Rangers Grant Opportunity and Guidelines The Grant Opportunity will provide $3.071 million to Indigenous organisations across the breadth of the Murray–Darling Basin (the Basin) to establish up to four new Indigenous ranger groups to work on waterway health projects that support environmental and cultural outcomes across the Basin. Through the Program, the Australian Government recognises Indigenous Australians’ connection to country and the diversity of environmental and cultural practices across the Basin. The Program is expected to enable Indigenous river rangers to use their knowledge and connection to country to contribute to restoring and managing waterway health to support environmental and cultural outcomes in the Basin. The program will provide funding for one year, commencing on or soon after 1 July 2021, for successful organisations to employ a total of 20 full-time equivalent Indigenous rangers as well as a number of ranger coordinators. The process is open and competitive, which means applications will be considered on merit and will be compared to other applications. Please refer to the Program's Grant Opportunity Guidelines for more detail. If you have any questions please email us at MDBRiverRangers@niaa.gov.au
