Aboriginal Stakeholders
NSW Government Grants and funding portal launched!
Across NSW, there are more than 1,300 programs related to grants, rebates, subsidies, and transfers, spanning over 45 agencies with an associated annual spend of more than $18 billion.
The OneCX program, along with Regional NSW and our agency partners have created a central point where the NSW Government can share grant opportunities with customers - making relevant grants more discoverable, informative, and contextual.
The centralised Grants and Funding hub brings NSW Government grants together in one place, search and filtering tools to find grants that are relevant to you.

Staff Profile – North Coast Regional Landcare Network – Aboriginal Landcare Officer
Introducing: Michael Kennedy Hi - my name is Michael Kennedy and I am a proud Gumbaynggirrr descendant from Grafton (Skinner Family). I have been appointed as the Aboriginal Landcare Officer with the North Coast Regional Landcare Network and work from Grafton. This is the first time such a position has been created in NSW Landcare movement. What is your career background Michael? Previously I have worked within state government starting with Department of Land & Water Conservation through to successor portfolios to Office of Environment & Heritage 18 years later. I have worked with Grafton Ngerrie Local Aboriginal Land Council and also did a few years tenure at Federal Government working with Services Australia (Centrelink Call Centre). |  |
What does your role with Landcare involve? Landcare has a strong interest in finding ways to work more closely with Aboriginal communities across the North Coast. I am interested in knowing what your community/organisation is planning over a rolling period of 12-18 months in regards to any environmental or land management works and how we can create the collaborative partnership. Have you any Plans of Management for your properties? Are you interested in creating a Landcare Group? Ideas for revegetation, weed or pest control, weed identification and management? These are just some talking points to discuss and to have on each other’s scope to be aware of possible grants/funding sources to engage with each other for the works in mind
What is your hope in this role? The Indigenous Program name sums it up perfectly ‘Working Together’. I look forward to the collaborative partnership between Traditional Land custodians and the Landcare Network in learning from each other and ‘Working Together’.
