The SES Support Grant 2025-2026 round closed 28 November 2024. Future rounds will be announced here.

The grant assists local governments to provide high quality emergency and disaster management services through the allocation of resource focused funding.

For the 2025-2026 round, the requirement for a council contribution was removed—increasing both the benefit and accessibility of the program for local government:  

• Facility projects - applications will now be accepted for the total project cost, up to maximum funding of $150,000 (GST exclusive).  
• Vehicle projects - applications will now be accepted for the total project cost, up to maximum funding of $75,000 (GST exclusive).

Information about available funds, how to apply and requirements are provided for reference below.

Documentation for funding rounds prior to 2025-2026 includes dated contact information and references to Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES). In June 2024, SES transitioned from QFES to be a service hosted by Queensland Police Service. Please contact the new SES Grants email grants@ses.qld.gov.au if you have any questions or concerns about this. If you are acquitting or seeking a variation for an approved grant, please ensure you use the documents from the funding round your application was approved in.
