Grants are now closed
In June 2024, the Australian Government announced a grant round to fund community-based peer supports and capacity-building supports.
These grants have now closed.
Thank you to everyone who has shown interest in the Peer Support and Capacity Building grant round.
We are working to assess all applications as quickly as possible.
We will directly contact applicants regarding the outcome of their submission.
Community-based, disability-led organisations that run existing peer support and self-advocacy programs were eligible to apply.
This is a one-off grant round delivered by the NDIA, providing up to $20 million per year in funding over 2 years, with the possibility of a one year extension.
The NDIA recognises the crucial role these organisations play in the disability ecosystem, helping people with disability to connect with others who have shared similar experiences and build their skills.
Governments are working with the disability community to design and deliver the foundational supports and navigation functions recommended by the NDIS Review.
This one-off grant round sits alongside the Department of Social Services’ Information, Linkages and Capacity-Building grants program .
