Aboriginal Tourism Grant Program

What is the Aboriginal Tourism Grant Program?

The Aboriginal Tourism Grant Program is an initiative that provides Northern Territory Aboriginal owned and operated tourism businesses with funding to improve their business.

Funding

A total pool of $200,000 (GST exclusive) has been allocated for the program. One-off funding of up to $20,000 (excluding GST) is available per business.

This is a competitive grant funding program, therefore the program encourage all applicants to ensure the guidelines and eligibility criteria are met to give the project the best chance of success.

Should an applicant cocontribute to the total cost of the project the amount should be identified in the application as part of the total project value.
