Securing Faith-Based Places

The Australian Government is providing $50 million in 177 grants to keep Australians practising their religion safe across the country.

The Albanese Government is committed to ensuring that people of all faiths can live in Australia free from violence and discrimination.

The $50 million Securing Faith Based Places program grants will improve security at religious schools and preschools, places of worship and faith-based community centres.

This includes an additional $10 million in funding announced by the Prime Minister on
16 October 2023.

Grants have been approved in every state and territory across different faith communities.

The Securing Faith-Based Places program helps protect Australians from crime and violence motivated by religious or racial intolerance by funding security guards and security infrastructure, including cameras, lights and fencing.

A list of organisations that will receive funding is attached. All grants have been awarded through an open, competitive and merit-based process.
