Recipients of the FReeZA 2025-27 grant program have been announced! 

Young people are shaping a bright future for Victoria. The FReeZA grant program is helping them succeed by celebrating their diverse skills and interests through youth-friendly events.

Message from Minister for Youth, the Hon. Natalie Suleyman MP

Since 1997, FReeZA has underscored the Government’s commitment to empowering young people. The program helps young people reach their potential by supporting access to opportunities and career pathways into music and the creative industries.

About the program

FReeZA has been developed in partnership with young people and youth organisations. The program gives young people the opportunity to plan and deliver music and cultural events in their local community.

By working collaboratively to deliver events that meet their needs, young people are supported to build lasting community relationships and develop their leadership skills.

FReeZA events also give opportunities to local musicians and young emerging artists across the state.

The funding will elevate young voices and help young people shape the future of Victoria’s vibrant creative industries.
