Grants and Assistance

Agriculture Victoria administers a range of funds, grants and programs across different sectors and regions.

Agriculture Victoria currently has community grants available through the Partnerships Against Pests Grants Program. The current round of funding is worth $500,000 and will help community groups deliver workshops and resources including fact sheets and videos showcasing best practice management tips. It will also help to promote collaboration between neighbours and wider communities.

Grants worth between $10,000 and $50,000 are available to a wide range of agricultural and environmental volunteering organisations, including Landcare groups and networks.

A further $250,000 has also been allocated to Victoria’s four Community Pest Management Groups – allowing them to expand their reach statewide and strengthen partnerships with local communities.

The new funding will support the Government’s new Biosecurity Strategy, which states the need to reduce the impact of established weeds and animal pests through local action.
