$25 million government security grant for mosques, Islamic schools and community centres
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. I want to bring this to everyone's attention because many mosque committees may not know about it yet. The Australian Government has announced a $25 million Security Uplift program specifically for Muslim community organisations. It covers CCTV, access controls, lighting, fencing, and alarm systems for mosques, Islamic schools, and community centres. ANIC is administering the program and Expressions of Interest close on 24 April 2026.
There is a good breakdown of the program and how to apply here: halalhq.io/blog/community/mosque-security-grant-australia-2026
If you are on a mosque committee or know someone who is, please share this with them. This is the kind of funding that does not come around often and we should not let it go to waste. InshaAllah our masajid across Australia can benefit from this.

Assalamu alaikum. JazakAllah khair for sharing this. With everything that happened after December, the security concerns at our mosques are very real. I will be sharing this with my local masjid committee this week inshaAllah. I hope every mosque across Australia takes the time to look into this before April 24.

This is so important. A lot of mosques have needed better security for a long time but the cost was always the barrier. JazakAllah khair for the link to the article, it explains the process well.
