We know that the work of community-led change is even stronger when community and institutional leaders from across the continent can learn from each other’s experiences, building relationships of trust and connection for collective action.
This year, with thanks to the ChangeFest partners and sponsors, we are pleased to be able to provide travel grants to make it possible for more community leaders — including First Nations, young people, culturally and linguistically diverse, person with disability, and from regional and remote areas — to join us at ChangeFest25 in Walyalup/Fremantle WA.

- Return flights to Perth
- Transit costs (airport transfers, bus, overnight accommodation if required)
- A ChangeFest25 ticket
- Accommodation in WA (up to 4 nights)
There is a limited pool of funds and decisions will be made based on geographic spread and diversity of applicants.
