QIS BGA provides opportunity for eligible independent schools to apply for capital grants for the development of school based educational facilities.

QIS BGA operations
If you wish to make a formal complaint, the QIS BGA Complaint Form should be lodged with the General Manager of Queensland Independent Schools Block Grant Authority (QIS BGA) as per the QIS BGA Complaints Handling Policy.
Making an application for capital assistance
The New Schools Policy provides information on applying for CGP, SCAS and EIS capital assistance for both newly accredited and existing approved authorities seeking to establish a new school or a new campus of an existing school.
Request to Review where a project is not recommended
Schools will be advised if the Board has been unable to recommend that a grant be allocated for a proposed project. CGP and SCAS operate under separate guidelines. Reference should be made to the review provisions of each program prior to providing a written submission to the QIS BGA General Manager:
SCAS
The scope of the SCAS guideline does not provide for the review of an application where a grant has not been recommended.
CGP
The CGP guidelines require that the applicant school be afforded the opportunity to request a review where a grant has not been recommended. The QIS BGA requirements and procedures regarding a formal Request to Review are provided to guide Approved Authorities through the process.
Further information on a Request to Review
Schools seeking to discuss a review of grant management processes and/or other aspects of the application process should contact the QIS BGA General Manager.
