Aboriginals Benefit Account (ABA) beneficial grant funding is for the benefit of Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory. The ABA beneficial grant funding is broad in scope and flexible enough to support a wide range of activities, with a focus on action to achieve clear and measurable benefits for Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory.

Unless otherwise set out in the Application Kit, applicants must:
• Have a legal personality and full legal capacity to enter into an Agreement with the Commonwealth of Australia. An unincorporated association is not a legal person and will not be contracted by the Department;
• Not be bankrupt or subject to insolvency proceedings (as relevant to the entity type);
• Have an ABN and be registered for GST purposes, where relevant;
• Be financially viable, as assessed by the Department; and
• Not have been named as non-compliant under the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012.

The Department may take into account any previous or current non-compliance with any Commonwealth of Australia agreements.

States or Territories may apply for grant funding unless the applicable Application Kit specifically excludes them.

Applicants that do not, as determined by the Department at its sole discretion, meet these requirements may be deemed ineligible for ABA beneficial grant funding.

While it is expected that grant funding will primarily be delivered through organisations, individuals will not be precluded from receiving grant funding, unless otherwise specified in the Application Kit.

Applications for funding must be submitted using the online application form. The form is available on the Department’s website.

The application kit provides key information to assist applicants to complete the application form. All material within the application kit should be read in conjunction with the Aboriginals Benefit Account Section 64(4) Beneficial Grant Guidelines.
