Seafarer Welfare Fund
In February 2024, Port Authority, NSW Ports and Port of Newcastle launched the Seafarers Welfare Fund.
The Seafarer Welfare Fund aims to enable the long-term provision of services, projects and programs in support of the state’s essential seafarer workforce in a productive and sustainable way.
Collectively, the contributing parties will provide an annual combined total of $500,000 to the Fund for the benefit of successful seafarer welfare organisations that demonstrate how they can enhance seafarer welfare in NSW.
Applications for FY26 have now closed
