A small allocation of funds is provided each year to support national disability conferences. These funds are administered by the Office of Disability of the Commonwealth Department of Family and Community Services. Funding is available from one annual funding round. Applications for funding are called for conferences that are to be held in the following financial year by an advertisement, placed in The Australian on the first Wednesday in March. The closing date for receiving applications for funding is the last working day in March.
Eligibility is restricted to one national conference per organisation in any twelve-month period.
