A Rental Grant is a once only grant of 2 weeks rent to help you pay for the cost of moving into private rental accommodation. A Rental Grant is for people in a housing crisis.

Rental grants help people who are leaving a hospital or health facility, correctional facility, other approved centre, child protection service, Community Rent Scheme property in Queensland, who are experiencing domestic, family or sexual violence or who are homeless or at risk of homelessness to move into private rental housing.

A rental grant is a once only grant of two weeks rent - it is not the two weeks in advance that your Agent or Lessor asks for when your tenancy starts
