Indigenous Heritage Program
About the Indigenous Heritage Program (IHP)
The Indigenous Heritage Program (IHP) is an Australian Government initiative that supports projects that identify, conserve and promote the Indigenous heritage values of places important to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Individual project funding for organisations will in general be available up to a maximum of $100,000 (GST inclusive). Individual applicants will generally be eligible for funding up to $5000. Applications for more than these amounts may be considered where the applicant demonstrates special circumstances or a genuine requirement for additional funds.
The IHP may also help identify places likely to have outstanding Indigenous heritage value to Australia suitable for inclusion on the National Heritage List
