Community media organisations across Australia received a share of over $10.8 million in our first grants round for 2022/23.
The funding supports hundreds of inspiring Content, Specialist Radio Programming and Development & Operations projects and activities that ensure community stories, information and entertainment are heard by millions of people across the country.
Projects range from new podcasts, films and radio shows that reflect the diversity of our community to digital infrastructure projects that ensure listeners can access their favourite content seamlessly from anywhere to sector-wide initiatives that support long-term capability and resilience.
Each grant round, we receive many more applications than we are able fund. This round we received 271 applications requesting $16.2 million.
