In celebration of Threatened Species Day, Round 3 of the Threatened Species Partnership Grant Program is now open, creating opportunities for organisations, landholders, councils, businesses and community groups to work together to protect Tasmania's threatened species.
More information, including eligibility requirements and application guidelines, is available on the Threatened Species Partnership Grant Program web page.
Round 3 of the Grant Program will support practical, on-ground projects that deliver lasting conservation benefits and strengthen partnerships across a diverse range of sectors. Many threatened species habitats occur on farms, private land, council-managed reserves, production landscapes and industrial landholdings, making collaboration an important part of successful conservation outcomes.
The Grant Program is one of four areas of investment under the Tasmanian Government's $8 million Threatened Species Fund. The first two rounds supported 13 collaborative projects across Tasmania, including habitat restoration, invasive species management, targeted recovery actions for priority species and innovative approaches to conservation.
Round 3 focuses on two themes:
- On the Brink, supporting targeted action for Tasmania's most imperilled threatened species, with grants of up to $150,000 available.
- Building Resilience, supporting habitat-focused projects that address key threats and improve outcomes for a broader range of threatened species, with grants of up to $250,000 available.
Projects must deliver on-ground conservation benefits to Tasmanian threatened species and provide a co-contribution of at least 20 per cent of total project costs, which can be cash or in-kind support.
Applications are now open and close at 11.59 pm on Monday 19 October 2026.
Why this matters
Protecting Tasmania’s threatened species is best achieved through collaboration. The Grant Program bring together knowledge, resources and expertise from a range of partners to achieve stronger conservation outcomes for Tasmania's threatened species.
