Support For First Nations Tourism

11 July 2025

The Victorian Government has launched the First Peoples Tourism Growth Program, offering grants of up to $125,000 to support First Nations-owned tourism businesses in Victoria.

The funding can be used for business development, cultural preservation, and tourism promotion. This initiative supports the Yuma Yirramboi Strategy and Experience Victoria 2033 plan. In 2023, First Nations tourism attracted over 500,000 visitors and contributed $1.3 billion to the economy.

Expressions of interest close on 8 August 2025.
