Minister Keogh: Saluting Their Service Grants Launch

Minister Keogh

OPENING SOON: SALUTING THEIR SERVICE GRANTS PROGRAM

The Albanese Labor Government is making $3.5 million available to honour the service and sacrifice of Australia's veterans through the first round of the 2025-26 Saluting Their Service Commemorative Grants Program.

Ex-service and community organisations will have the opportunity to apply for funding to support the delivery of locally and nationally significant projects that commemorate Australia's proud military history, and ensure veterans' legacy of heroism and service is never forgotten.

Previous grant recipients include a wide-variety of commemorative projects, including feature-length documentaries, physical memorials, and books focusing on the lesser-known stories of local veterans.

As time marches on, it's more important than ever that we safeguard the legacy of our veterans and families, who answered the call to serve when our nation needed them.

Grants will be available across two categories – Community Grants (up to $10,000) and Major Grants (between $10,001 and $150,000).

With this year marking several significant anniversaries in Australia's military history, including the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Pacific Day and the 110th anniversary of Australia's Gallipoli Campaign, there's no better time to apply for funding.

Applications open Monday, 31 March 2025.
