Are the grants only for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and Older Persons groups? And do they have to apply for both groups?
Activities which will be funded by these grants will need to target EITHER Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people OR older persons. In some cases, both of these groups will be the target for your activity. You may choose one or both groups to target.
Will $100,000 grants be focused on projects across multiple communities?
Grants will be awarded based on impact and value for money. It is not possible at this point to speculate on the amount and value of grants that will be awarded.
What is the total funding amount available and how many grants will be awarded?
There is a total funding pool of $300k. The grants awarded will be between $20,000 to a maximum of $100,000. It is unclear how many grants will be awarded at this stage and will be dependent of the number of suitable activities that are submitted.
If we are evaluating projects will ethics approval be required?
We will work with individual organisations to provide guidance around ethics, including Aboriginal ethics, on a case-by-case basis. Unless there is a specific need identified for Research Ethics approval no formal approval will be needed. All evaluations will need to be conducted using appropriate ethical guidelines.
