Conference Support Fund

Opening in Term 2, 2025

The QCT’s Research Grants for Teachers programme has been renamed the Conference Support Fund to better describe its purpose: supporting registered teachers to attend conferences and present academic research.

As one of our annual initiatives to promote the teaching profession, we will open the fund for applications at the beginning of Term 2, 2025. Funding will be available throughout Terms 2 and 3 – offering more time for teacher researchers to apply.

Eligibility requirements remain the same, and further details about the 2025 programme – including application guidelines and deadlines – will soon be shared on our website, social media channels and in the next edition of the yourQCT newsletter. Stay tuned for updates.

The Conference Support Fund reimburses teachers’ costs associated with presenting research at Australian education conferences, including registration fees, travel, and accommodation.

Teachers must have recently conducted their academic research, which must be related to their practice or that of their colleagues.
