The Local Jobs, Local People grant opportunity, delivered under the Local Jobs Program, will fund activities addressing local employment needs, supporting individuals into ongoing employment, or providing a clear pathway to employment. Supporting people registered in employment services is a priority.    The grant opportunity will provide a total of up to $10 million (GST exclusive) in funding to 30 June 2027. The grant round will be conducted through an open competitive process. It is anticipated the grants will be from around $50,000 to $250,000 (GST exclusive).   
Grants awarded under this opportunity will support activities addressing one or more of the priorities in the Local Jobs Plan for each relevant Employment Region.
Successful grants will focus on supporting those who experience barriers to employment, such as First Nations peoples, mature age Australians, migrants and refugees or young people, or focus on opportunities for local employment in critical sectors such as construction, manufacturing, care and support, digital and emerging technologies, and the energy transition.
