The Minor Capital Works Fund (MCWF) supports small-scale priority building projects to improve the learning environment, condition or character of Victorian schools.

Introduced under the Victorian Government’s Building Works Package, an initial $20 million established the MCWF as part of the construction blitz to help Victoria's economy rebound from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

In the 2022–23 State Budget an additional $41.8 million was allocated to the fund. A further $10 million was allocated in the 2023-24 Victorian State Budget, bringing total investment in the program to over $140 million since 2020.

Over 480 projects have been funded through this program – providing a funding boost and fast tracking small, but important, upgrades that modernise school facilities.

The VSBA School Grants team administer the Minor Capital Works Fund. For more information about the fund, please contact the team by emailing Minor.Capital.Works@education.vic.gov.au.
