How to apply
Applications for Venue Upgrade Grants 25/26 – Advanced Screen and Lighting Technology - Expression of Interest are made through Sound NSW (Department of Creative Industries, Tourism, Hospitality and Sport), 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.
Applications close in February 2026. 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.
This round is closed. Many Australian grant programs run again, and a closed program is the reason the alert list exists: we watch this page nightly and tell the list the day it reopens.
