I am pleased to announce that Round 10 of the Albanese Government's Stronger Communities Programme is now open!

Eligible community groups and not-for-profit organisations can apply for grants of between $2,500 and $20,000 to support small infrastructure projects that deliver lasting benefits for communities in the Parramatta electorate.

The program supports a broad range of infrastructure projects, including those that may promote tourism, support Indigenous Australians, veterans and their families, newly arrived migrants, students, people with disability, improve health and community facilities, strengthen digital connectivity, provide medical services, encourage social cohesion and participation, support children's wellbeing, advance gender equality, and enhance environmental sustainability, climate resilience and biodiversity.

If your organisation has a project that could make a difference in Parramatta, I encourage you to submit an Expression of Interest through the process below. Successful applicants (as determined by a local consultation committee) will receive an invitation to complete a full application in December 2026.

HOW TO APPLY

Complete the Expression of Interest form and return it to my office by 5:00pm, Monday 9 November 2026. Applications can be emailed to [email protected].
