There are two categories of grants within the program.

• Support Grants of up to $50,000 (ex. GST)
  • These grants are available to support the planning and/or delivery of community road safety projects.
• Collaboration Grants of up to $150,000 (ex. GST)
  • These grants are available to support the planning and delivery of larger community road safety projects.
  • Applicants to this category will need to demonstrate how they intend to work in collaboration with the TAC to deliver their road safety project. This category involves an Expression of Interest (EOI) process. Please see the 'How to apply' section for more information on the EOI process.

In addition, the proposed project cannot have been previously funded by the TAC, and planned project activities must be undertaken in Victoria.
