Your Community Heritage

Your Community Heritage is a new approach to supporting and protecting Australia's heritage that will enable local communities around Australia to celebrate their local heritage.

The program recognises that our heritage is not just about 'big' heritage such as places on the World and National Heritage Lists, it is also about the heritage of individual communities, be they in regional Australia or small towns or in dispersed multicultural communities.
The Your Community Heritage Program comprises the following sub-programs to which the public may apply:


  • Protecting National Historic Sites
  • Recovering from Natural Disasters
  • Commemorating Eminent Australians
  • Sharing Community Heritage Stories
  • Celebrating Community Heritage
The amount of funding to be allocated across each of these sub-programs will be determined by the demand for funding.
