Hireup Impact Grants - 2026

In partnership with HESTA, the 2026 Hireup Impact Grants will fund goals that let Hireup clients and workers express who they are, keep their choice and control, and live their good life. 

This year $5,000 is being offered to fund an idea, experience or opportunity that supports people with disability and older Australians to hold on to their choice and control.

Here are some examples of things Hireup clients could apply for:

• Cover course fees and study costs: Tuition, a reliable laptop, textbooks.
• Purchase tools for self-expression: An instrument, art materials, studio time, a wardrobe that lets someone express who they are.
• A bridge to living independently: Bond and setup costs, the gap on a home modification, something that makes a move possible.
• Support to live well: Help with a specific cost that’s getting in the way of your standard of living.
