⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE - Upcoming Election ⚠️

Potential applicants should note that, in advance of the State General Election on 26 October 2024, the Government will enter a caretaker period from 1 October 2024. The caretaker period will last until the result of the election is known.

While some applications for this grant program may be received prior to or after the start of the caretaker period, due to the imposition of Caretaker Guidelines and the need for the public service to not bind an incoming government, the department is unable to provide advice about the outcome of the funding round or allocate any funding until the result of the election is known and a new government has been sworn-in by the Governor of Queensland.
