The Victorian Government committed $450 million in the 2023–24 State Budget to build and upgrade low-fee Catholic and independent schools across the state.
The Building Fund for Non-Government Schools will allocate $30 million for Islamic schools.
The Islamic stream is now closed. Any applications received by September 2025 are under consideration. Applicants will be informed of an outcome within 4 months of application submission.
If you have any questions, please contact the Non-Government School Grants Team:
non-government.school.grants@education.vic.gov.au.
Islamic and other independent schools are encouraged to apply under Round 4 of the Building Fund for Non-Government Schools independent stream when it opens.
Non-government schools are an important part of Victoria's education system, with over one-third of Victorian students studying at Catholic or independent schools.
This fund builds on the $522 million allocated between 2016–23 for the Non-Government Schools Capital Fund.
