Ninety community organisations, ex-service organisations, schools, and councils across Australia will receive a share in more than $1 million in grants through the latest round of the Albanese Government's Saluting Their Service Commemorative Grants Program.
These grants support essential local projects that commemorate the enduring service and sacrifices of our veterans and preserve Australia's rich military history.
Grants have been awarded to large-scale projects such as the Australian National Veterans Arts Museum, which will host a commemorative art exhibition for the veteran community, through to local activities such as renovations and upgrades to the Soldiers Room at Mount Morgan Citizen's Club.
Saluting Their Service is an ongoing national program. Applications for the next grant round are now open until 20 June, encouraging ongoing community participation in honouring our veterans.
A wide range of organisations can apply for grants, including ex-service organisations, community groups, schools, and local councils. Two grant categories are available:
- Community Grants: Up to $10,000 for local, community-based commemorative activities.
- Major Grants: Between $10,001 and $150,000 for significant commemorative projects with national, state, territory, or regional impact.
