2026 Australia Post Community Grants

Local community groups play an important role in creating positive change in people’s lives. To help them deliver for their communities, we award Community Grants of up to $10,000 each year to fund community-led, local projects.

We are proud to offer additional grants totaling up to $250,000 to support disaster-impacted communities across Australia. These funds will be dedicated to projects that enhance mental wellbeing by fostering connection and building resilience within communities recovering from a natural disaster or a major storm event.

Our Community Grants program supports projects that connect people to improve mental wellbeing in local communities.

To be eligible for an Australia Post Community Grant, projects must:

Improve mental health and mental wellbeing outcomes of a community
Help people meaningfully connect
Be locally-led and locally-delivered.
