Funding

Apply for funding

The Commissioner funds services that promote community safety, protect people from harm and support victims. We operate a number of different funding streams and regularly invite organisations to apply for funding.

Our intention is to make funding accessible to organisations of all sizes. Read the key documents on this page before applying for funding from our office.

Please note, we may periodically close funding opportunities once available funding is allocated. Any deadlines listed are therefore indicative.
