Grant opportunity for health infrastructure funding

July 28, 2026

A new grant opportunity for the Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services sector has opened with up to $180 million available to improve infrastructure for health professionals.

Round Three of the Closing the Gap – Major Capital Works Program – 2026-27, will assist appropriate bodies to receive infrastructure funding to expand or improve access to primary health care services.

To be eligible, organisations must be an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service and currently deliver primary health care.

Two funding rounds totalling $210 million have already been delivered under the scheme.

Organisations will have a proven track record of delivering essential and culturally appropriate primary health care to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Australia, including in areas of high need.

These organisations will also have established community relationships and are considered the most appropriate entities to receive infrastructure funding to expand or improve access to primary health care services in these areas.
