Financial Assistance Grant

The Financial Assistance Grant is a Australian Government grant made available each year to all Australian Councils.



The Financial Assistance Grant program consists of two components:

• a general purpose component which is distributed between the states and territories according to population (i.e. on a per capita basis), and
• an identified local road component which is distributed between the states and territories according to fixed historical shares.

Both components of the grant are untied in the hands of local government, allowing councils to spend the grants according to local priorities.
