Workshops
New governments, both Australian and in most States have changed the grants space in ways we have not seen in 10 years. Environment, water, arts, climate change and community grants are appearing.

- Preparing competitive applications for Growing Regions and environment, water, community, infrastructure grants and more both Australian and State
