Criminal Property Confiscation Grants Program

Supporting incorporated not-for-profit organisations and Local Government authorities to better assist the WA community.
Last updated:

The Department of Justice administers this grants program on behalf of the Attorney General, drawing on funds collected under the Criminal Property Confiscation Act 2000.

The Criminal Property Confiscation Act 2000 provides for the confiscation in certain circumstances of property acquired as a result of criminal activity or used for criminal activity. The Act also makes provision for the re-distribution of confiscated funds and proceeds of the sale of other confiscated property for a number of purposes as listed above.

About the Criminal Property Confiscation Grants Program (CPCGP)

The CPCGP provides funds of up to $200,000 to eligible organisations for projects that aim to address the impact and damage caused by criminal activities.

The Program is a competitive and matched funding program. The amount of funding you apply for must be matched by either:

  • a contribution from your organisation
  • funding from other government agencies
  • corporate donations
  • in-kind goods or services, cash or a combination of these (Please note - The in-kind goods or services component cannot be more than 50 per cent of the matched contribution).

Projects can only be funded if they align with CPCGP objectives and successfully meet the assessment criteria as outlined in the Program Guidelines (PDF, 293KB).

Projects must be implemented in Western Australia for the benefit of the Western Australian community or address an issue in Western Australia.
