Funding can be used for building works, renovations, or purchasing equipment that helps deliver inclusive services. Successful applicants will also be invited to join a national community of practice to share learning and collaborate with other organisations and government stakeholders.

Applications are open until 21 November 2025, and funding will be awarded in January 2026. Projects must be ready to spend the grant by 31 March 2026.
