Australia Post Community Grants 2026

Local community groups play an important role in creating positive change in people’s lives. To help them deliver for their communities, Australia Post awards Community Grants of up to $10,000 each year to fund community-led, local projects.

They also offer additional grants totalling up to $250,000 to support disaster-impacted communities across Australia. These funds will be dedicated to projects that enhance mental wellbeing by fostering connection and building resilience within communities recovering from a natural disaster or a major storm event.

To be eligible for an Australia Post Community Grant, projects must:

• Improve mental health and mental wellbeing outcomes of a community

• Help people meaningfully connect

• Be locally-led and locally-delivered.

For applications relating to disaster-related projects only, an additional criterion applies:

• Support a disaster-impacted community for improved connection, wellbeing and/ or resilience.
