About employment grants
Australian grant programs for hiring, job creation and workforce participation, from the Commonwealth, every state and territory, and local councils. 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.
Every program categorised under employment is here, across all jurisdictions. A program can serve more than one purpose, so it may appear on other pages too. "Not stated" means the funder published no figure, and a blank closing date means the funder published no deadline.
Confirm on the funder's own page before you apply. Every entry links straight to it and shows the date it was last checked.
Everything closing in the next 60 days, the directory by state or every purpose we track.
