Saluting Their Service Commemorative Grants open today

The Saluting Their Service Commemorative Grants Program aims to commemorate the service and sacrifice of Australia's service personnel who served in wars, conflicts and peace operations, including National Service personnel and their families. 

Applications are now open and close 9 pm AEDT on Thursday 5 February 2026. 

The intended outcome of this program is to provide funding for projects and activities that:

• promote appreciation and understanding of the experiences of service, and the role of service personnel
• preserve, add to the sum of knowledge on, or provide access to information about Australia's wartime heritage. 

There are two categories of grants available under the program: 

1. Community Grants - up to $10,000 for local, community-based projects and activities

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