The Australian Government allocated $3.2 million over four years in the 2006–07 Budget for the Consumer Representation and Research Grants program.

Under the Consumer Representation element of the program, grants of financial assistance are made to consumer bodies to support consumer representation in the telecommunications sector. The primary objectives of this program are:

• fostering community awareness of telecommunications issues affecting consumers
• representing consumers' interests in the development of government and industry policy relating to telecommunications, and
• facilitating discussion of and research into telecommunications issues of interest to consumers.

Details of the Consumer Representation Grants program for 2008–09, including the assessment criteria for grant applications, can be found in the 2008-09 Program Guidelines. The application form for the 2008-09 round of Consumer Representation Grants is also available in the right column.

Applications for Telecommunications Consumer Representation grants for 2008–09 will close at 5pm AEST on Friday 9 May 2008.
