The Illicit Tobacco Fee for Service Program (the program) will run until 30 June 2027. In the 2024-25 Budget, the 'Tobacco - Illicit tobacco compliance' measure provided funding of $188.5 million over 4 years from 2023-24 for the Australian Border Force (ABF) to implement an end-to-end compliance and enforcement model for illicit tobacco. This funding includes $20.4 million to establish the Illicit Tobacco Fee for Service Program to partner with state and territories to counter illicit tobacco.

The intended outcome of the grant opportunity is to support uplift in capacity and capability of territory law enforcement agencies to support the Commonwealth efforts in disrupting illicit tobacco.
