The government has committed $3 million under the Caring for Our Country initiative to support Indigenous engagement and consultation on a World Heritage nomination. This process is ongoing.

The Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities has not provided funding to any environmental NGO or conservation group through the consultation process on the proposed World Heritage listing of Cape York Peninsula.
