Applications are now open for the Tell Someone Child Safety Small Grants Program 2026–27.
The Tell Someone Child Safety Small Grants Program supports organisations across Tasmania to raise awareness, strengthen child-safe practices, and help create communities where children and young people are safe, listened to, believed, and supported.
Community organisations, clubs, and groups play an important role in helping keep children and young people safe. The grants support practical and sustainable projects that:
- support children, young people and adults to identify, prevent and respond to child sexual abuse, grooming and harmful sexual behaviours
- build capability and skills
- strengthen child-safe practices
- support organisations to embed long-term child-safe approaches.
