The Regional Partnerships Program is a key regional development funding program of the Commonwealth Government and is provided through the Department of Transport and Regional Services (DoTaRS).

This program focuses on four areas:

  • Strengthening growth and opportunities by investing in projects that strengthen and provide greater opportunities for economic and social participation in the community;
  • Improving access to services by investing in projects that, in a cost effective and suitable way, support communities to access services. It will give priority to communities to access services. It will give priority to communities in regional Australia with a population of less than 5000;
  • Supporting planning by investing in projects that assist communities to identify and explore opportunities and to develop strategies for action; and
  • Assisting structural adjustment by investing in projects that assist specifically identified communities and regions adjust to major economic, social or environmental change.
