Ex-service organisations (ESOs) and their advocates play a critical role in helping veterans and their families navigate entitlements and access services.
DVA helps ensure this valuable work continues through the Building Excellence in Support and Training (BEST) Grants Program.
Applications for the 2025–2026 round of the Building Excellence in Support and Training (BEST) Grants Program are open until 28 April 2025.
With over $4.8 million in funding available, the BEST Grants Program continues to support the vital advocacy work carried out by ESOs.
Funding can be used for salaries, office equipment, and other administrative costs associated with delivering essential advocacy services to the veteran and Defence communities.
ESOs of all sizes are encouraged to apply for this funding, ensuring advocates have the resources they need to provide high-quality support to veterans and families.
Applications close at 9:00pm AEDT on 28 April 2025.
