Saluting Their Service Commemorative Grants 2024-25

The Saluting Their Service Commemorative Grants Program is designed to commemorate the service and sacrifice of Australia's service personnel in wars, conflicts and peace operations, and their families.

Up to $3.5 million is available each financial year for distribution, split across three batches throughout the year. 

There are two categories of funding - Community Grants and Major Grants

Community grants are to a maximum of $10,000 and are available for community-based commemorative projects and activities such as memorial restorations, development of Honour Rolls, supply and install of cabinets to display military memorabilia, and new flagpoles. 

Major Grants are offered between $10,001 and $150,000 and are available for major commemorative projects and activities that are significant from a national, state, territory and/or regional perspective. 

Some examples of MG projects and activities include:

• construction of an interactive memorial walking track dedicated to all Australian service personnel from the Vietnam War 
• development of a digital Honour roll and interpretive signage to commemorate the history of service personnel from a particular region 
• development of a documentary commemorating Australian Prisoners of War.
