ABOUT
Traditional Owners of Country have produced food and managed land since time immemorial. The traditional knowledges and practices held by First Nations people benefit Victoria’s agriculture sector. There is an opportunity to embed Aboriginal traditional knowledge and practices into Victoria’s agriculture training so that the agriculture sector has broader and diverse skills that support innovation, entrepreneurialism and resilience.

Through the garinga djimbayang Grant Program, grants valued between $300,000 and $1,000,000 (excluding GST) are available for Registered Aboriginal Party and TAFE partnerships for projects that deliver on the garinga djimbayang objectives, which are to:
 • Recognise the value of Aboriginal traditional knowledge and practices in agriculture
 • Integrate Aboriginal traditional knowledge and practices into elements of accredited agriculture training
 • Ensure accredited training delivered through the program is culturally safe
 • Encourage more First Nations people to pursue training and/or careers in agriculture

This grant program is funded through the $50 million Agricultural College Modernisation Program (ACMP), administered by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) on behalf of the Victorian Government.
