Grant applications are submitted through our online system. If you are using the system for the first time you will need to register your details to access the grant application.
We do not accept applications submitted via post. Any material received by post will not be assessed and will be returned to the sender. If you think you will have difficulty submitting your application online, please contact the grants team.
There are a range of activities funded through Australia Council Grant Programs and the Programs delivered on behalf of the Government.
Our program summary pages list the type of activities we support. They also include closing dates, eligibility requirements and assessment criteria.
