Reporting on past funding

Applicants who have overdue accountability reports for previous grants funded through the Victorian Multicultural Commission (VMC) and/ or DPC may submit an application for funding.

If an applicant is then successful in their application, funding will not be provided until all overdue accountability reports have been submitted and approved by DPC/VMC. To check if you are up to date with accountability reports, please email: community.grants@dpc.vic.gov.au.

Information on the previous assessment criteria are outlined in the Program guidelines and Guidance for Applicants.

All applications were assessed by a panel of representatives from DPC and the MFE External Panel made up of the Victorian Multicultural Commission and independent experts (as required) before final endorsement by the Minister for Multicultural Affairs.

Applications are currently closed.

Applications must be submitted online via DPCs Online Portalwhen the funding round is open.
