The Capital Works Fund (CWF) supports building projects to improve the learning environment, condition or character of schools. Funding is also available for projects that promote inclusion, especially for students with disabilities or additional needs. This program replaces the Minor Capital Works Fund and Inclusive Schools Fund, which supported over 920 school projects.

The 2024–25 State Budget allocated $25 million to the fund.

Funding is available in 3 streams:

  • Up to $50,000 is available for small priority or condition-related projects.
  • Up to $300,000 is available for student inclusion projects.
  • Up to $500,000 is available for larger priority or condition-related projects.

Applications for the 2024–25 Capital Works Fund are closed.

The VSBA School Grants team manages the CWF. For more information, contact the team at Capital.Works@education.vic.gov.au(opens in a new window).
