Funding acknowledgements

All grants and funding recipients that receive funding from programs administered by the department are required to acknowledge the funding provided by the Queensland Government.

Our funding acknowledgement requirements ( 5.0 MB) set out how funding recipients are expected to acknowledge their project funding. These should be read in conjunction with the funding instrument or agreement.

Where funding should be acknowledged

Recipients are required to acknowledge the Queensland Government’s funding support in all communication materials developed in relation to the project. This is done through inclusion of an acknowledgement statement and, where appropriate, the Queensland Government Coat of Arms and other visual elements.

Communication materials may include, but are not limited to:

  • media releases and speeches associated with the funded activity, including launches or other official events
  • invitations, brochures, conference programs, newsletters, annual reports, posters, and project and event signage
  • media coverage and advertisements, including TV, radio, online and newspaper
  • multimedia material including websites, videos and other promotional items
  • social media.

Project signage templates

Funding recipients must also acknowledge funding contributions through signage at the project site. Recipients must ensure signage is prepared, approved and installed in accordance with the funding acknowledgement requirements.

Please refer to the templates below.

Please note: these templates are only for use by recipients of funding from programs managed by the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning.

Queensland Government Coat of Arms usage

The Queensland Government Coat of Arms is available in colour or monotone and in various file formats to fit the intended purpose. Minimum size restrictions apply. Please ensure the Queensland Government Coat of Arms is only used as prescribed in the acknowledgement requirements.

Please contact us for a digital copy of the Coat of Arms.
