Northern Territory Block Grant Authority (NTBGA)
The Australian Government provides funds to help schools in the Government, Catholic and Independent sectors undertake capital works.
The NTBGA exists to administer the Australian Government Capital Grants Program in accord with the Schools Assistance (Learning Together – Achieving through Choice and Opportunity) Act 2004 or any Act or Acts of the National Parliament passed to replace or augment the Act.
Capital Grants Program for Non-Government Schools
Australian Government grants for capital expenditure for non-government schools are provided under the Non-Government Component of the Capital Grants Program.
Australian Government Capital Grants are supplementary to funds provided by the Territory Government and school authorities which have the primary responsibility for providing, maintaining and upgrading school facilities. The Australian Government seeks to improve educational outcomes by assisting in the provision of school facilities.
The specific objectives of the Capital Grants Program are to:
Provide and improve school capital infrastructure, particularly for the most educationally disadvantaged students;
Ensure attention to refurbishment/upgrading of capital infrastructure for existing students, while making provision for needs arising from new demographic and enrolment trends;
Pursue the Australian Government’s other priorities and objectives for schooling as outlined in the introduction to their Guidelines.
