WUN countries · Oceania
Research funding opportunities available from Australia, including those provided by its government, research councils, and foundations.
“Open to apply now” covers rolling schemes (no fixed deadline — the funder accepts applications all year, e.g. most DFG programme pages) and calls whose published deadline is still ahead. Closed (past-deadline) rows stay listed at the bottom for reference.
Quantitative view of Australia's indexed opportunities — how they break down by funding agency and by deadline status.
Every WUN member also has access to the shared WUN Research Development Fund.

Deadline chip: a date = the latest application deadline we verified on the official page · Rolling = no fixed deadline — the funder accepts applications at any time · No date = the funder has not published a deadline for this scheme yet · Closed = the deadline has passed. Click the chip to open the opportunity's details page; ↗ opens the funder's official page in a new tab. Funding figures are copied from the official page only — “Not stated” means the page we archived lists no amount for this scheme (many funder scheme pages carry none), not that it is unfunded; “Not yet gathered” means we have not captured that page yet.
