Priority of Round

Minor Infrastructure Grants 2024-25

The ECU will prioritise applications that directly support children’s health and safety, particularly, where safety concerns in services' physical environments have been identified.

Completing Your Application

IMPORTANT: Please read this application form together with the Minor Infrastructure Grants Application Guidelines and associated documentation, available on the Education and Care Unit (ECU) website.

  1. Answer Every Question: Incomplete applications will be deemed ineligible.

  2. Think Big Picture: Consider how this grant can support your service’s long-term goals. Reflect on how the proposed project will contribute to continuous improvement and the lasting impact it will have on the quality of care you provide.

    • Assessment and Rating: Address any specific challenges identified during your Assessment and Rating or Licensing processes, such as areas requiring improvement or compliance issues.
    • Quality Improvement Plan (QIP): Align the project with your service’s QIP or Licensing Action Plan. Demonstrate how the funding will support goals like enhancing educational programs, improving safety standards, or upgrading facilities.
  3. Visual Evidence: Include photographs to illustrate the need for the proposed project. A simple photograph can often be more effective than a written description.
