funding opportunities
Around half DoCS budget is provided in payments to government, non-government and community-based organisations to deliver services to the community on behalf of DoCS.
The majority of funding is already committed to existing providers, however as new funding for any program becomes available, it is normally advertised in metropolitan and regional newspapers through requests for expressions of interest (EOIs).
Agencies submitting an EOI then go through a selection process. Funding may be provided on a one-off basis or over a specified time frame.
Successful organisations are usually required to sign an agreement with DoCS. This specifies what services will be provided and reporting and accountability requirements. See DoCS service agreement 2009/10 before applying.
