The Crisafulli Government is delivering a new $5 million grants program to help break the cycle of crime and create safer, stronger, and more resilient communities.
It's just one of the ways the Crisafulli Government is making Queensland safer and delivering a fresh start.
The Queensland Justice Reinvestment Grant program is a $5 million commitment to support initiatives in First Nations communities, including prevention strategies that reduce the likelihood of justice system involvement.
The program delivers on the Crisafulli Government's commitment to restoring safety where you live and reducing victim numbers after a decade of Labor's Youth Crime Crisis.
The grants support community programs such as counselling services, substance abuse and mental health support groups, transitional accommodation, and education services.
Eligible organisations must demonstrate strong local connections, leadership, and a plan to improve social and justice outcomes for their community.
Grants are available for:
one-off funding of up to $100,000 to be delivered within one year
multi-year funding of up to $900,000 ($300,000 per annum) to be delivered over three years.
Applications open on Monday 24 November 2025 and close on Sunday 21 December 2025.
Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister for Integrity Deb Frecklington said the program delivered on the Government's commitment to restore safety where you live.
"These grants are all about crime prevention, and supporting safer and more resilient First Nations communities," the Attorney-General said.
"Programs will be informed by the voices of local communities, which will help to ensure that these solutions are appropriate for the communities they are operating within.
"I strongly encourage eligible organisations to consider applying for funding, to help make lasting change and improve justice and health outcomes for people across Queensland."
The grant program has been developed in line with the new Queensland Justice Reinvestment Framework, and applications will be assessed by an independent panel including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders.
