Women's Leadership and Development Program Project Grants

This grant opportunity supports projects that achieve tangible improvements in outcomes linked to the achievement of all, one, or a combination of the key priority areas of the WLDP (note: International Engagement will not form part of this grant opportunity).

The key priority areas are:

• Women's job creation
• Women's economic security
• Women's workforce participation
• Women's leadership
• Women's safety

Priority will be given to applicants who can demonstrate how their project complements existing initiatives under the government’s JobMaker Plan, in particular the JobTrainer Fund, to work in partnership with the Commonwealth.

Projects that are scalable, transferable across industries and occupations, and those that focus on supporting women from different backgrounds (including rural, remote and regional women) are strongly encouraged.

Projects funded under the 2018–19 WLDP grant opportunity are encouraged to apply for a continuation or expansion of their project.
