Grants
Applications open March 2026
Bringing local ideas to life.
Each year, Queensland Child Protection Week offers grants to help communities run creative, inclusive events that promote child safety and wellbeing. Whether you’re planning a family fun day, an art project or an awareness campaign, your ideas can make a real impact.
Let’s work together so every child feels safe, heard, and valued, this week and every week.
The objectives of Child Protection Week are to:
- raise the profile of all issues connected with child protection, including child abuse prevention, treatment, research, education, service provision and support for children, young people and families
- create a statewide umbrella focus for child protection allowing government and non-government agencies to present a cooperative and coordinated community oriented campaign
- support and value professionals and volunteer child protection workers by providing 'best practice' training and a forum to exchange ideas and information
- offer a framework to recognise advances in the field, and thereby contribute to better outcomes for all children and young people, especially those who have been harmed or are at risk of harm.
