Interested in how much the Queensland Government has spent on grant and funding programs?
What is expenditure data?
The Queensland Government works closely with all Queenslanders to build safe, caring and connected communities, create jobs, protect our environment and enhance quality of life for present and future generations.
To help achieve this, a number of grant and assistance programs are open to individuals, small community groups and non-government organisations right across the State.
Funding programs cover a range of service areas and interests from sport, arts, and events to education, environment and Advance Queensland research and innovation initiatives.
Expenditure data reflects amounts paid for these grant/funding and frontline service procurement programs. Consolidated datasets can be used by the public, non-government organisations and Government departments to research the investment the Queensland Government makes across grant/funding programs.
The information is correct at the time of reporting however figures and other details may be subject to change. Budgeted and expenditure amounts may also be subject to variation due to changes in project timing, scope or funding reallocations.
Where individuals have received funding, these details have been aggregated within the broader program, funding categories or location, to maintain privacy.
Data available
Expenditure data includes:
- legal entity/service provider details

Please view the Data Dictionary to understand the data attributes, quality and limitations of this data which should all be considered before using this data for any purpose.
Due to program name changes, consolidation of funding into other programs, machinery-of-government changes and refinement in the data fields collected overtime, comparison of figures across different years may be ineffective.
