Bondi recovery grants of up to $300,000 now open

The federal government has opened applications for a $13 million grant round for Jewish community projects, as part of its response to the Bondi terror attack.

Multicultural Affairs Minister Anne Aly announced the Australian Jewish Community Priority Projects grant round on November 5. Organisations can apply for up to $300,000, which can cover all eligible project costs.

The round is part of the $46.7 million Financial Support for Australian Jewish Communities program, which runs over four years and was announced in the 2026–27 Budget as part of the government’s response to the attack. The $13 million will be distributed over two years, with $5.2 million in 2026–27 and $7.8 million in 2027–28.

Funding is available in three areas: intercultural and interfaith engagement, cultural and religious participation, and connecting community members to existing support services.

Eligible activities include interfaith dialogue programs, anti-racism and anti-hate education, cultural events and festivals, and programs to help people who have withdrawn from community life since the attack to re-engage.
