How to apply

Applications are made through

Attorney-General's Department

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 Attorney-General's Department's own application page is one of the two facts a trial opens, alongside the exact closing date.
