funding opportunities
Around 60 per cent of Community Services budget is provided in payments to government, non-government and community-based organisations to deliver services to the community on behalf of Community Services.
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 Community Services. This specifies what services will be provided and reporting and accountability requirements.
See the Service agreement 2012/13 before applying.
