The Aboriginal Community Infrastructure Program is a grants program which enables community-controlled First Nations organisations to improve functionality, repair, refurbish or expand infrastructure, or plan future infrastructure to support Victorian First Peoples to thrive, and live self-determined and culturally rich lives.
The program aims to:
- improve the safety, responsiveness and delivery of services and support to communities
- strengthen connectedness to culture and Country
- improve the physical, social and emotional health and wellbeing of communities
- increase functionality, sustainability and accessibility of buildings; and
- expand education and economic participation opportunities for communities.
Program administration
The Department of Government Services administers the program on behalf of the Department of Premier and Cabinet. A project control group consisting of representatives from both Departments oversees the Program.
