The 2018–19 Sexual Violence Prevention Grants program provides one-off funding of $500 to $5,000 for activities in March and April 2019 that will support Queenslanders to continue the conversation about sexual violence.
Applications closed at 5pm on Friday 14 December 2018.
Funded activities
We are providing funding for 24 activities to help raise awareness of sexual violence, challenge misconceptions, and promote respect and support for victims and survivors.
The activities range from one-off events and workshops to social media campaigns and projects working with communities and survivors to develop music, videos and print resources.
The majority of activities will be undertaken in March and April 2019, and run in parallel to public consultation activities to support development of a new Sexual Violence Prevention Framework for Queensland.
