Greater Shepparton City Council has a proud history of working in partnership with the community to meet local needs and expectations. One of the ways the Council supports the community is through the Access and Inclusion Grant Program. This program aims to delivers funding to support not-for-profit organisations and community groups to improve access and inclusion for people with disabilities.

For the 2026/2027 Financial Year, there is a total funding pool of $5,000 available. Individual grants of up to $1,500 are available for successful applicants to conduct activities or deliver their projects.

Funding is limited and not all applications that meet the guidelines may be funded. No recurrent grants, capital works or annual funding commitments are available from this fund.  

Council strongly advises you to contact the Community Wellbeing department prior to making an application to discuss your proposed activity and eligibility. You can contact Council’s Access and Positive Ageing Officer via telephone on 5832 9700 or via email at positiveageing@shepparton.vic.gov.au
