What the program funds
The Distributed National Collections Program is directed at the identification, development, conservation, maintenance and display of collections of nationally significant artistic or cultural material. The training, professional development, partnering and networking, collection support and management activities supported by the Distributed National Collections Program are intended to assist in achieving this core aim. These activities support the strengthening of best practice in the museums and galleries sector.

How to apply
Applications for Distributed National Collections are made through Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, Sport and the Arts, 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.
Apply for Distributed National Collections on the official site
Applications close in June 2027. Government grant portals are busiest on the final day and several of them close on the stroke of the deadline, so the practical advice is to submit a day early.
