Who writes the cheque for digital projects
A netball club and an exporter are both after funding and they should be looking in completely different places. Here is where this one is.
This is state and territory money.
50% of digital programs here are run by a state or territory agency rather than by a council or the Commonwealth, so the department in your own jurisdiction is the place to start.

121 separate funders run at least one digital program in this catalogue. None of them holds more than 6% of it, so this money is spread across the country rather than concentrated in one agency.

Crossings
Your project is rarely only one of these.
204 of the 332 digital programs in this catalogue are also filed under community, because that is how the funder describes them. Each of these is the same programs seen from a different door.

Counted as programs carrying both categories. The catalogue never adds these up, because a hall upgrade filed under three purposes is one program and not three.
About Australian digital grants
Australian grant programs for digital adoption, technology projects and online capability, pulled together from the Commonwealth, all 8 states and territories and local councils across the country. 332 programs are categorised under digital in this catalogue and 22 of them are open right now. Open programs closing soonest come first; closed rounds stay on the list, because most Australian grant programs run again and the alert list tells you the night one reopens.
This is state and territory money. 50% of digital programs here are run by a state or territory agency rather than by a council or the Commonwealth, so the department in your own jurisdiction is the place to start. The largest single funder of digital projects in this catalogue is Screen NSW at 19 programs, and 121 separate funders run at least one.
115 of these 332 programs carry a closing date the funder published, and this page shows the month for every one of them. 15 of them close inside the next year, with November 2026 the busiest month at 5. "Not stated" against an amount means the funder published no figure, and a program with no closing date means the funder published no deadline: neither is filled in with a guess. Where an amount is published, most digital grants in this catalogue sit between $2.1k to $4m.
A category earns a page of its own at 25 programs, and the categories overlap on purpose. A council program upgrading a netball court is capital works and sport and community at the same time, because that is how the funder describes it and how three different people will look for it, so this page's count and the other categories' counts do not add up to the 4,049 programs in the catalogue, and this site never adds them up.
Confirm every detail on the funder's own page before you apply. Every program here has a page of its own showing the funder, the amount, who can apply and the date it was last checked. Everything closing in the next 60 days, the directory by state and territory, or every category we track.
