Applications for Securing Faith-Based Places Grants are now open

The Australian Government is committed to ensuring that people of all faiths can practice their beliefs, free from violence and discrimination.

The new Securing Faith-Based Places grant program was launched to address the risk of crime and violence resulting from religious and racial intolerance.

Grants between $25,000 and $500,000 are available to eligible organisations for security infrastructure upgrades like lighting, fencing, securing cameras, traffic barriers, alarm systems, access controls and engagement of security guards.

A downloadable factsheet and FAQ document is available here.
