The Department for Families and Communities administers grant funding for community organisations and service partners. Grants are available for a wide range of purposes, from skills development to infrastructure projects. Some grants are only available to specific groups such as councils, state sporting associations, community or charity organisations and social welfare groups, and others require applicants to have a certain status (such as being an incorporated body).
