Information about the Overseas Privately-Constructed Memorial Restoration Program
The Office of Australian War Graves, Department of Veterans' Affairs, on behalf of the Australian Government, administers the Overseas Privately-Constructed Memorial Restoration Program.
This grants program aims to assist Australian veterans and other individuals in the restoration and preservation of existing military unit and battle memorials, which have been constructed overseas.
Whilst OAWG is not responsible for these memorials, the Government has made funding available to assist with their restoration and preservation in the form of this grant. Any individuals, non-commercial organisations or community groups, who have an interest in seeing a particular pre-existing overseas memorial restored, can apply for the funding with their particular project plan.
To be eligible memorials must be directly commemorative of Australia’s military involvement, including wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. Memorials must be pre-existing, on public display and have been constructed by Australian Veterans, Veterans' associations or other associations that maintain existing memorials overseas recognising the contributions of servicemen and women. While funding will be granted for restoration, ongoing routine maintenance will not be eligible for this funding.
More information about the Overseas Privately-Constructed Memorial Restoration Program and how to apply for this funding is provided in OAWG Overseas Privately-Constructed Memorial Restoration Program Guidelines. You will find a link to these guidelines below along with other supporting documentation necessary for the application of this grant.
