What are the grant conditions?
September 11, 2025 By portfolio
- Grants of up to $250,000.00 (ex GST) for CHOs or $700,000.00 for ICHOs are available and are exclusively to cover the cost of consultancy services by member(s) of the Approved Professional Advisory Panel. Grant funds will not be approved for general operating or staff costs.
- Projects can extend over 12-18 months depending on grant amount, timing, and location.
- CHOs and ICHOs can use their own preferred professional services provider, not just the professional services panel. The provider would need to be approved by the Project Team and hold relevant skills/qualifications to undertake the work. The professional services provider would be invited to join the panel if their capabilities and experiences may be of relevance to other CHOs and ICHOs, however this is optional.
- Applications must include a proposal and quote from the professional service(s) panel member they intend to engage with the grant funding.
- Grant funding will be paid in milestones that will be determined against the project plan supplied by the applicant.
Successful organisations must: - Enter into a funding agreement with Q Shelter.
- Enter into a contract with the panelists directly for their project and manage the entire project delivery.
- Contribute to the program evaluation through timely input to interviews, surveys and the submission of a brief project report and acquittal.
