Please visit SmartyGrants for more information. We are committed to strengthening trauma-informed disability inclusion across Queensland through a $1 million grant program supporting community-based and disability-led initiatives.

The Building Trauma-Informed Disability Inclusion in Queensland Grants are an initiative under the Queensland Trauma Strategy 2024–2029 , designed to reduce re-traumatisation and strengthen inclusion, safety and wellbeing for people with disability.

The funding provides an opportunity for community-based organisations, disability-led organisations, peer-led organisations, First Nations community-controlled organisations and not-for-profits to develop initiatives that: strengthen trauma-informed practice across services and systems prevent and respond to violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation improve access, navigation and inclusion for people with disability build disability-led leadership and peer capability reduce stigma and discrimination in everyday environments.

A total funding pool of up to $1 million is available across two streams: Stream 1 (minimum $116,000 up to $350,000): Testing evidence-based initiatives to determine feasibility and early impact Stream 2 (minimum $160,000 up to $500,000): Expanding proven initiatives to broaden reach and strengthen or scale existing models. Funding is available for projects delivered through to June 2027.

People with disability experience disproportionately high levels of trauma, violence, abuse and system-related harm. Many people continue to face fragmented systems, exclusion, and re-traumatisation across disability, health, justice, housing, education and community settings. Trauma-informed approaches strengthen safety, dignity and inclusion.

By investing in community-led and disability-led solutions, this funding supports practical improvements that build capability, prevent harm and contribute to lasting system reform.

The Commission is seeking applicants with experience, capability and strong community connections to deliver initiatives that align with one or more of the following priority areas: Violence, abuse and safeguarding Psychosocial disability and complex needs Stigma, inclusion and everyday environments.

Successful applicants will demonstrate how their proposed program improves safety, inclusion and wellbeing for people with disability, builds local capability, generates learning, and contributes to sustainable reform beyond the funding period.

Initiatives that address the needs of the following priority populations are encouraged: First Nations people with disability People with psychosocial disability and complex needs Children and young people with disability, particularly those engaged with child protection system Women and gender-diverse people with disability experiencing violence People with disability in institutional, custodial or supported accommodation settings Families, kinship carers and parents of children with disability People with disability in contact with the justice system People with disability who are homeless or at risk of homelessness LGBTQIA+SB people with disability People with disability in rural, regional and remote communities.
