How to apply

Applications are made through

Australian Government

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 Australian Government's own application page is one of the two facts a trial opens, alongside the exact closing date.

Application link
  • 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.
  • No closing date has been published, so check the official page for the current round before you begin. Any date that appears there is picked up on the next nightly read.
  • 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.
