This program supports First Nations-led, community-driven projects that build resilience to dry times and the changing climate – by Mob, for Mob.
Up to six First Nations organisations, businesses or consortia will be selected as Delivery Partners through a targeted competitive grant round. Consortia may include non-Indigenous entities but must be First Nations-led.
First Nation organisations will deliver place-based, community-led projects that strengthen connection to Country and build economic, social, environmental and cultural resilience to drought and climate risks.
Up to $12 million in funding will be available over 3 years from 2025 to 2028.
