Delivery Grants are being offered to eligible organisations for English LLND skills training to First Nations people across Australia. The training is to be co-designed with the community/communities in which it will be delivered.

Delivery Grants will typically be for between $350,000 and $1,000,000 (excluding GST) per year over a 2 to 3 year period, for a single site, or up to $3,000,000 (excluding GST) per year for delivery at multiple sites.

• First Nations Community Organisation peak bodies (applying on behalf of their eligible members)
• and have the legal capacity to enter into a grant with the Commonwealth
• be affiliated with the community/communities on whose behalf they apply, or partnering with an organisation that is.
