How to apply
Applications are made through
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
Not through GrantWindow. We do not take applications, charge a fee or act as an intermediary, and any site that offers to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look. The direct link to Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's own application page is one of the two facts a trial opens, alongside the exact closing date.
- Applications close in June 2028. Government grant portals are busiest on the final day and several of them shut on the stroke of the deadline, so the practical advice is to submit a day early.
- Confirm details on the official page before applying. GrantWindow records what the funder published and when we read it. We are not the funder and this page is not legal, financial or eligibility advice.

When does Australia Cook Islands Partnership Program close?
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has this round closing in June 2028. The closing month is shown to every reader with no account at all; the exact day, the funder's own closing time, a live countdown and the link to the funder's application page open with a free 7 day trial. Government portals shut on the stroke of the deadline, so submit a day early.
How much funding is available through Australia Cook Islands Partnership Program?
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade does not publish a funding amount for this program, so this page does not show one. The figure, where there is one, is in the guidelines Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade publishes on their own page, which this record names and carries the link to.
Who can apply for Australia Cook Islands Partnership Program?
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade lists this program as open to partnerships. That is a starting filter rather than the full eligibility test: the criteria in the funder's guidelines are what decide an application.
Is Australia Cook Islands Partnership Program still open?
It was open now when we last read Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's own page, on 24 Oct 2026. Every source is re-read nightly and this page carries the date of the last read.
Who runs Australia Cook Islands Partnership Program, and does GrantWindow take a cut?
Australia Cook Islands Partnership Program is offered by Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Commonwealth of Australia. Applications are made through the funder, never through GrantWindow: we take no applications, charge no fee and act as no intermediary. Any site offering to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look.
