Defence Industry Development Grants Program - Security Stream

Department of Defence accepts applications on an ongoing basis and publishes no closing date. Ongoing rounds do get paused and closed without much notice, so this listing is re-read every night and the alert list is told the day it changes.

Department of Defence 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 Defence publishes on their own page, which this record names and carries the link to.

Department of Defence lists this program as open to companies, individuals, local government, partnerships and trusts. That is a starting filter rather than the full eligibility test: the criteria in the funder's guidelines are what decide an application.

It was ongoing intake when we last read Department of Defence's own page, on 24 Oct 2026. Every source is re-read nightly and this page carries the date of the last read.

Defence Industry Development Grants Program - Security Stream is offered by Department of Defence 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.
