Inclusive Arts Project Grants: WA, QLD & ACT

The National Ethnic Disability Alliance (NEDA), funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing, is launching the Inclusive Arts Project Grants for community arts centres and collectives across Western Australia, Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory. Grants of up to $25,000 will support organisations to undertake a series of inclusive arts activities, including participation in three 1‑hour webinars, delivery of at least six free inclusive workshops that reach a minimum of ten people with disability from CALD backgrounds, and the staging of a final exhibition or showcase event. The project is expected to commence in September 2026 and conclude by May 2027. Applicants must submit a one‑page proposal outlining how they currently meet the needs of people with disability from CALD backgrounds and include a brief budget outline. The proposal should be sent to NEDA via the contact details on the NEDA website. The grant also includes engagement with NEDA’s monitoring and evaluation team to assess impact. This opportunity is open to community arts centres and collectives located in WA, QLD or ACT, and requires the ability to deliver inclusive workshops and an exhibition/showcase. The application deadline is 6 September 2026.
