Only Australian or New Zealand phone numbers can be used to set up multi-factor authentication (MFA). International users creating a new grants portal account must use the authenticator app option for MFA. International users with an existing account can continue using their current international phone number for MFA if preferred.

The grants portal allows you to apply for Australian Government grants and services in a secure online environment. You can also use the portal to manage any requirements around a grant you may receive. These requirements may include:

  • inviting other participants to be involved in the process

  • entering into a grant agreement with the Commonwealth

  • regular reporting on your progress

  • providing evidence of your progress or costs

  • reviewing a record of payments

  • varying your agreement if necessary.

If you need help in registering for the portal or the application process, contact us on 13 28 46.
