Victorian Government Capital Grants

Applications have closed for Round 4 of the Victorian Government’s Non-Government Schools Capital Fund.

About

The Victorian Government Non-Government Schools Capital Fund 2019-20 to 2022-23 is providing $402 million to help build and upgrade Catholic and Independent schools in Victoria, with approximately $120 million available for the Independent sector over the four rounds of funding.

To be eligible to apply, a school must be a participant, or prospective participant, in the Victorian Independent Schools Block Grant Authority (VIS BGA).

Grants may be allocated across four project categories:

Projects in category 1 and 2 must have a construction period of 18 months or less.

Projects in category 3 and 4 must have a construction period of 12 months or less.

Schools may not receive more than one grant over the four rounds of funding for a project in category 1, 2 or 3. Schools may be eligible to receive a separate grant for a project in category 4 that solely addresses cladding and/or asbestos issues as part of a planned removal process.

Applications must be submitted online through the Department of Education and Training’s SmartyGrants portal, where they will be assessed by both the VIS BGA and the Department against the criteria below:
