Free 7 day trial
The exact day and the funder's own page are behind the trial.
This round is shut, and Destination NSW's own page is still where the next one gets announced. A free trial opens the direct link to it, the exact day this round closed, and every program in the catalogue that is open right now.

7 days, no card, nothing to cancel. When the trial ends the exact dates and the application links lock again until you subscribe. The catalogue itself, every program page and the month each one closes stay open to everybody, with no account at all.

Who can apply
Destination NSW does not publish a structured list of eligible applicant types for this program, so this page does not show one. The eligibility criteria in the guidelines on the official page are the ones that count.
What Destination NSW Discretionary Fund funds
These grants are offered through a non-competitive process at the discretion of the Minister for Jobs and Tourism. To support the delivery of activities that create vibrancy and encourage visitation to Sydney and Regional NSW. This program is funded and administered by Destination NSW.

How to apply
Applications are made through
Destination NSW
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 Destination NSW's own page for this program is one of the two facts a trial opens, alongside the exact closing date.
- This round is closed. Many Australian grant programs run again, and a closed program is the reason the alert list exists: we watch this listing nightly and tell the list the day it reopens.
- 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.
