Community Radio Music Hub Grants

This opportunity is made available through a partnership between the Community Broadcasting Foundation (CBF), the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) and the Australian Government through Music Australia. 

The Community Radio Music Hubs grant program aims to elevate the role of stations as curators within their grassroots music scene.

Our Community Radio Music Hub grants support the development, production and distribution of content via Australian community media. Community Radio Music Hub events should aim to connect the various components of the local music community.

Our grant guidelines detail everything you need to know about the Community Radio Music Hub grants. Please review these guidelines and preview the application form before starting your application.

Consideration of the Community Radio Music Hub grants is the responsibility of the joint assessor panel comprising CBF Content Grants Advisory Committee and Grant Assessor Team members and staff from Music Australia and CBAA. You will receive advice by email about the outcome of your application in November 2026.
