The Gambling Community Benefit Committee have implemented funding priorities and other determining factors to ensure they consistently and fairly provide funding recommendations to the Minister that support the objectives of the fund.

Your application will be sorted by funding priority depending on the items you request funding for. You should review and consider these priorities and determining factors when planning and submitting your application.

Priorities

Applications are prioritised by the committee in this order, where 1 has the highest priority:

1. Items/facilities directly affected, damaged or destroyed by a declared natural disaster in the last 2 years

2. Equipment or facility improvements

3. Buses, cars, caravans, boats, tractors, trailers, large mowers, motorbikes and similar items

4. Community events, training, workshops, festivals, publications and website development

5. Organisations that have received more than $15,000 from the GCBF within the last 2 years

To check eligibility requirements and understand your organisation’s responsibilities throughout all stages of the grant funding process, we recommend the Guidelines for GCBF applicants be read in conjunction with the Instructions for applying for and using the GCBF grant. Organisations are encouraged to contact GCBF on 1800 633 619 if they need help.
