National Indigenous Australians Agency

The Australian Government funds and delivers a range of programs specifically for First Nations peoples. Funding is allocated through the Indigenous Advancement Strategy (IAS), National Partnership Agreements, Special Accounts and Special Appropriations.

The NIAA administers the IAS and works to improve the way the Australian Government does business with First Nations peoples to ensure funding outcomes improve the lives of First Nations peoples.

Grant funding is also available through Indigenous-specific and mainstream programs delivered by other agencies. Information about all government funding opportunities is available at GrantConnect.

NAIDOC Local Grants provide a co-contribution towards the cost of NAIDOC activities and events.
