Aboriginal corporations are invited to apply for funding for initiatives that help protect, preserve and promote identified Aboriginal heritage sites.
Applications for the 2026-27 Preserve, Promote and Protect our Aboriginal Sites program are now open, with an increased grant pool of $1.25 million.
This year's program continues to support Aboriginal communities protect important places while strengthening local leadership and supporting people to practice, share and preserve culture on Country.
Eligible Aboriginal corporations and not-for-profit Aboriginal organisations can apply for grants of up to $50,000 to undertake projects including the remediation of burial sites; the installation of interpretive and truth-telling signage; fencing; environmental management and the digital promotion of cultural information.
Applications are also accepted for Aboriginal cultural heritage places that have been lodged for assessment but not yet accepted as a Registered Aboriginal site.
Since the program began in 2014, the State Government has committed $5.5 million to help Aboriginal communities care for significant cultural places across Western Australia.
