About

Catholic Education Queensland Limited (CEQL) is the peak body representing Catholic education in Queensland. It supports 313 Catholic schools, 29 kindergartens, and 16 boarding schools across the state, serving over 167,000 students. CEQL works with diocesan school authorities and Religious Institutes to provide advice, advocacy, and resources, and administers government funding to strengthen teaching, learning, governance, and community engagement within Catholic education.

Tips for Applicants

As Catholic Education Queensland Limited functions as a peak body providing systemic support, advice, and funding distribution to Catholic school authorities and schools, it does not appear to operate open grant programs for individual external applications. Potential recipients should instead engage through established Catholic education channels within Queensland.

Giving Philosophy

CEQL's vision is to shape the future by advancing Catholic education in Queensland, driven by a mission to serve the Catholic Church through leadership, collaboration, and advocacy for the common good. Their core values include Integrity, Justice, Hope, Collegiality, and Service. They are committed to ensuring access to high-quality, affordable, faith-based education that is responsive to the needs of contemporary Australian society, with a strong emphasis on student safety, reconciliation, and supporting students with diverse needs.
