The Office of Gender Equity and Diversity General Grants Program provides funding for projects, services and events that meet the objectives of the Action Plan by promoting gender equality in the Northern Territory.
The Northern Territory Government believes that gender equality is fundamental to improving the lives of women and girls, men and boys and gender-diverse people and to creating an inclusive, safe and thriving Northern Territory.
Focus Areas

- Community Engagement: seeks to improve Territorians understanding about gender, gender diversity, and the drivers of gendered violence and gender inequality.
- Health and Wellbeing: recognises that sex and gender are powerful social determinants of health and wellbeing.
- Safety: seeks to ensure that all Territorians are safe, respected and able to live free from violence.
- Economic Security: targets gender inequality in the areas of education, employment and financial resilience and literacy across the life course.
