Australia and Vanuatu share a deep and longstanding partnership that extends from before Vanuatu's Independence to today. We share a region, we share an ocean, and we share a future. Our Governments and communities work together every day to make that future more peaceful, prosperous and resilient.

Our partnership is underpinned by close friendships and family ties: from our shared Melanesian cultural links to the bonds between scholars, athletes, seasonal workers, tourists, officials, community leaders and volunteers that have formed from decades of close cooperation and exchange.

Vanuatu-Australia Community Grants Program

We're calling for applications from communities across all provinces to apply for the new Vanuatu-Australia Community Grants Program.

The new Community Grants Program builds on Australia’s previous Direct Aid Program, expanding the list of items that are eligible for funding, tripling the program’s overall budget, and more than tripling the maximum funding for each project.
