Criminal Property Confiscation Grants
The Department administers a grants program on behalf of the Attorney General drawing on funds collected under the Criminal Property Confiscation Act 2000.
Criminal money and property is seized by the Police and the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Grants can only be used to prevent or reduce drug-related crime and drug abuse, support crime victims and to aid law enforcement.
The current funding round opened on Wednesday 2 May 2012. Eligible not for profit community organisations and local government authorities are invited to apply for funds up to $200,000 to conduct projects for the above purposes.
The closing date for applications is Friday, 29 June 2012 at 5pm.
Applicants are encouraged to discuss their proposed project with the Department's Grants Administrator on (08) 9264 1206 (country callers 1800 994 400).
The outcome of the previous funding round was announced by the Attorney General on 15 February 2012.
Applications for the round opened last May and closed in July 2011.
Thirty-two applications were received. Fourteen approved projects, worth $1.7 million in total, have been offered funding. More information is available in the successful projects below.
