Department of Justice and Community Safety – Community Crime Prevention

Welcome to the Crime Prevention grant application portal. Justice Grants is responsible for managing the Victorian Government’s Crime Prevention Portal, which provides grant funding to communities to address local crime issues.

Justice Grants key priorities are:

• building knowledge and a shared understanding across government and community about crime prevention and effective responses
• strengthening partnerships at a local, state and national level in relation to crime prevention
• supporting the implementation of effective crime prevention measures at both a local and state level
• analysing and reviewing crime prevention initiatives, particularly those funded through the grant programs, to inform future practice.

The grants programs provided through the Community Crime Prevention Program help us to achieve these priorities.
