Delivery grants will be offered to eligible applicants to design, deliver and evaluate community-led primary prevention initiatives that challenge social conditions enabling violence-supportive attitudes and behaviours.

This grant opportunity is open to organisations that can demonstrate a high level of understanding of the drivers of DFV and strategies to address them. Preference will be given to applications that demonstrate existing strong relationships with their target groups or communities, or partnerships with specialist organisations representing those groups or communities.

Up to $6.4 million will be allocated over 2 years, commencing 2026-27. Individual grants of up to $600,000 will support projects of up to 2 years in duration.

Important note: This funder also has a Scoping grant available from July 17 - August 14 2026. You do not need to apply for a Scoping grant to be eligible to apply for a Delivery grant. See both opportunities.

Proposed initiatives funded under this grant program must:

• focus on the primary prevention of DFV, rather than early intervention or responses to people experiencing or using violence
• be community focused and community-led, with activities centred on meeting the unique needs of the local community
• align with the assessment criteria
• include an evaluation of the project
• be delivered in Queensland
• be offered at no cost to the target population
• demonstrate an intersectional approach.

To be eligible for the grant program, applicants must be 1 of the following:

• an incorporated, not-for-profit organisation (as defined by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profit Commission)
• an incorporated association (registered with the Office of Fair Trading)
• an Indigenous corporation (registered with the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations)
