The Australian Government is delivering on election commitments through a one-off funding round of the Investing in Our Communities Program and the Priority Community Infrastructure Program.
Election commitments up to $5 million are being delivered through the Investing in Our Communities Program and commitments over $5 million are being delivered through the Priority Community Infrastructure Program. Community Development Grants Programme commitments announced by the previous Government through the 2022–23 Pre-election Economic and Fiscal Outlook will also be delivered by both programs. The programs are funded from 2022–23 to 2026–27.
These programs closed to applications on 30 November 2023.
