Threatened Species Research Grants
Queensland’s Threatened Species Program provides the framework for helping conserve Queensland’s most vulnerable flora and fauna species.
It aims to deliver coordinated actions to identify, protect and recover threatened species across our terrestrial and aquatic environments and mitigate the threatening processes that impact them.
The Program adopts a strategic, integrated and coordinated approach to planning and implementing recovery activities across the sector, and helps to deliver increased outcomes for threatened species and their habitats.
While the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation leads the Queensland Threatened Species Program, we also partner with First Nations organisations, leading researchers, conservation and community groups across the state to assist in the protection and recovery of threatened species.
Nearly $15 million of additional funding was allocated to the Queensland Threatened Species Program in 2022-2023, of which over $2million has been provided for research and recovery grants to further conserve and protect our threatened flora and fauna in partnership with a range of stakeholders.

NatureAssist
NatureAssist is a grants program where money is paid to landholders who are willing to sign a nature refuge agreement over part or all of the property, conserving it as a habitat for wildlife.
Not all applications are accepted. NatureAssist is a competitive tender process and only the tenders that offer the best value for money in protecting and managing conservation values are chosen.
More information on the NatureAssist funding program is available on the Queensland Government website.
