Hume schools invited to share in new funding

New equipment, building projects or additional targeted support could soon be on the way to schools across Hume, with the Australian Government making up to $200,000 available for projects to benefit local kids’ learning experience.

Member for Hume Hon Angus Taylor MP says the Local Schools Community Fund offers grants between $1,000 and $20,000 to contribute to a variety of school projects and associated costs.

“The Fund will open for applications on 25 July 2019 and I encourage all schools in Hume to think about what they could do with a share of the funds,” says Mr Taylor.

“Schools may lodge one application for each of their campuses, so it’s important the project identified delivers a real benefit for their local school community.

“For remote schools in the region, they could use the money toward excursions for their students.”

The Local Schools Community Fund is open to Government, Independent and Catholic schools, but eligibility conditions will apply. Proposed projects will be assessed by a committee appointed by the Member for Hume.

Projects could include small-scale extensions or classroom refurbishments, new computer facilities, mental health and counselling services, playground equipment, library resources, or sports facilities.

The Federal Government announced the $30.2 million Local Schools Community Fund in the 2019 Budget.

Applications should be made through SchoolsHUB – https://schools.education.gov.au/ . Schools may submit one application for up to $20,000 funding for each of their campuses. Applications open on 25 July 2019 thru 30 September 2019. Approved funded projects must be completed by the end of 2020.

Coalition delivers election promise as Future Drought Fund becomes reality

Farmers in Hume stand to benefit from projects funded by the Coalition’s Future Drought Fund, which passed the Parliament.

MP for Hume Angus Taylor says the Coalition had delivered on its election promise.

“The Future Drought Fund will deliver $100 million in investment into drought preparedness and resilience projects every year, starting next July,” says Mr Taylor.

“This could include funding for climate adaptation, extension work, or region-wide projects such as pest and weed control.

Grants Available in August 2019“The farmers and businesses in Hume know how hard this drought has been. I’ve visited local farmers in and seen how difficult this drought is. We promised to support our farmers for this and future droughts and we’ve delivered.

“The $5 billion Future Drought Fund means $100 million every year will be invested in drought resilience and preparedness. This is on top of the $1.9 billion we’ve already invested in Farm Household Allowance, Rural Financial Counselling, mental health funding, low interest loans and more. Obviously, freight, fodder and rates subsidies are the responsibility of state governments.”

Minister for Drought and Rural Finance David Littleproud says a consultative committee will decide how the $100 million will be invested, as per the legislation.

“We’re talking with the people we’re elected to serve on how this investment should be spent.”

“Australian drought policy is a centrepiece our commitment to regional Australia with a guaranteed investment of $100 million a year, ” says Mr Taylor.

“We’re delivering vital funding for drought resilience for our farmers and rural communities across Australia.”

Health Smart Grants

We've launched our new Health Smart Grants program!

Expressions of Interest open 1 - 30 August 2019

We've redesigned our Community Grants program to offer our new Health Smart Grants which focus on partnering with Australian charities that empower Aussie youth and young adults to make smarter health choices.

In Australia, only 41% of adults have the health literacy levels needed to make positive and informed health choices. It's why we seek to support health-focused charities which work to improve the health literacy of Aussies as we believe that through improved health literacy, people will have the information and skills they need to adopt healthy behaviours and positive lifestyle choices.

Want to find out more? Download the Health Smart Grants Guidelines and an Expression of Interest form, or read on.

About the grant

Page | 2

Grants Available in August 2019We will support registered Australian charities that specialise in health promotion and primary prevention, and have a track record of engaging and empowering people to be Health Smart in their everyday lives. Preference will be given to initiatives that are inclusive and relevant for youth and young adult audiences.

We believe supporting people to make good decisions will positively impact their health and wellbeing, and reduce modifiable health risks in their lives. Therefore, successful projects will draw on a strong evidence base to build health literacy, helping people to access, understand and use health information.

A funding pool of $320,000 will be distributed to six successful grant recipients who will each receive $40,000 in grant funding. A 'Peoples Vote' will also be held during the grant period, where two of our six grantees will receive an additional $40,000 in funding as voted by nib members and the wider public.

To support our intention of building strong and meaningful partnerships, the duration of the grant is flexible.

Funding Priorities

Our Health Smart Grants fund the delivery of health promotion and primary prevention initiatives which work to improve health literacy, and help people develop the understanding and skills they need to adopt healthy behaviours.

Far too many people in Australia die prematurely or live for many years with suboptimal health related to prevalent chronic illnesses. These chronic diseases often share the same and multiple risk factors.

As such, our priority prevention areas target risk factors that are modifiable and have the potential to prevent ill health including:

Healthy habits - reducing smoking and harmful drinking, gambling, gaming, or screen-time

Wellbeing - maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle through physical activity and healthy diet

Mental health - raising awareness and promoting the value of self-care, healthy relationships, peer support and social connections

Sleep - promoting the importance of sleep as a protective health factor and helping people establish good sleep habits

Maintaining health - pre-emptively managing prevalent health conditions and risks

And, we're interested in initiatives that satisfy one or more of the following:

Facilitate access to quality, reliable, current and targeted health information Are informed by evidence to achieve health promoting behaviour change Utilise effective and emerging digital health promotion techniques

Page | 3

Grants Available in August 2019 Translate new evidence into practice in a way that is practical, scalable and

sustainable Operate within a strengths-based philosophy to empower and encourage

good health Improve the environment, culture, awareness or attitude surrounding a risk factor or

health condition

Our ideal partner

The suitable Health Smart Grant partner will have:

A focus on one or multiple health vulnerabilities or risk factors experienced by Australian youth and young adults which impacts their health

Established reach and target cohort engagement to communicate their health promotion messaging, content and projects

A track record of delivering core services and preventive health initiatives that produce positive participant outcomes

An online presence that successfully engages the target cohort Strong governance and leadership with organisational alignment to the funding

Stronger Country Communities Fund

Grants Available in August 2019Round Three of this fund will deliver crucial local infrastructure and programs to improve the quality of life of people living in regional NSW.

Since 2017, the Stronger Country Communities Fund (SCCF) has supported more than 1000 local projects that make regional communities even better places to call home.

In Round One, the NSW Government invested $100 million to improve community facilities such as town halls, recreation facilities, shared paths and playgrounds. Through Round Two, the NSW Government invested a further $200 million to provide high quality community and sports-related infrastructure.

Round Three will provide an additional $100 million for community projects in regional NSW, with at least $50 million for youth-related projects. The third round of the Stronger Country Communities Fund increases the total value of the Regional Growth Fund to $1.7 billion.

Caring for Ageing Rural Australians (CARA)

A targeted program designed to benefit and support older people living in small rural and remote communities in Victoria.

AWARDED 2019 program opens in August

In a Good Place FRRRIn a Good Place is a national grants program that provides support for community-driven initiatives that reduce social isolation, increase social participation and connectedness, and encourage people in rural, regional and remote communities who are at risk of, or are experiencing, mental health issues to seek help.

There are three objectives for this program:

1. Reduce social isolation;

2. Increase social participation and connectedness;

3. Increase help-seeking.

By supporting local solutions and using a multi-faceted approach focused on enhancing people, place and wellbeing, our donor partner, CCI Giving, aims to give back to those overcoming challenges and adversity, and to the most marginalised in society.

Strengthening mental health in rural communities

In a Good Place supports rural, regional and remote communities in their efforts to strengthen the mental health of at-risk and vulnerable members of their communities via projects, services or activities that are preventative or responsive in nature and which are designed to engage those less likely, unable due to distance and isolation, or ineligible to participate in mainstream mental health services.

The program comprises two open call grant rounds per annum, offering grants of up to $20,000 from an annual funding pool of $200,000. There is $100,000 available in this funding round.

It is investing in local responses to measurably improve mental health in rural Australia, by supporting community-led projects. Priority will be given to initiatives that:

1. Are delivered via non-clinical first providers of mental health care, such as school counsellors and teachers, members of the clergy or pastoral care teams,

Page | 7

Grants Available in August 2019neighbourhood or community groups, or via technological or other innovative methods;

2. Improve accessibility and availability of mental health services, tools or support to areas with limited or no access to the same;

3. Provide innovative responses that are inclusive, building social connections that lead to better mental health;

4. Confront stigma surrounding help-seeking behaviour.

3. Enhancing environmental sustainability (not available via this program)

4. Fostering cultural vibrancy

5. Lifelong learning and education

6. Building economic strength and sustainability (not available via this program)

7. Improving community health and social wellbeing

Organisations that receive a grant through the In a Good Place program are asked to participate in an evaluation of the collective outcomes of projects supported through the grants program. This will entail agreeing to:

Report back on achievements and learnings against the overarching grant program objectives, outcomes and indicators;

Report back on achievements and learnings against individual project goals and measures, comparing anticipated and actual outcomes; measures and the methods used will be determined by the applicant, relevant to their community, project scale and approach;

A follow up meeting (by phone) with FRRR within six months of project completion, and / or project site visits with FRRR and CCI Giving.

Prioritisation of funding

Preference will be given to projects that:

Serve communities with populations under 10,000;

Are run by and based in the beneficiary community/ies;

Respond to specific population mental health and wellbeing issues within a local community;

Strengthening Rural CommunitiesThe Strengthening Rural Communities (SRC) program aims to give the thousands of small rural, regional and remote communities across Australia an opportunity to apply for funding that can support broad community needs. This program is an evolution of the long-running Small Grants for Rural Communities (SGRC) program that FRRR ran for 34 rounds over a 16 year period.

The program criteria are deliberately flexible, and with applications being accepted all year round, communities have increased access to funds that can be used where and when a community knows it’s needed.

The Strengthening Rural Communities program has two funding tiers:

1. Small and Vital grants

Small and Vital grants are all about meeting an immediate small scale need within a community, or for giving a boost to a larger initiative.

The Small and Vital grants provide funds of up to $10,000.

Applications are accepted year round via our online application system and awarded quarterly.

2. Larger Leverage grants

Page | 9

Grants Available in August 2019Through the Larger Leverage grants, small rural, regional and remote communities now have an opportunity to access funding to support more aspirational objectives, think bigger and leverage the ideas, creativity and resources of communities for bigger impacts and stronger, more connected communities.

The larger leverage grants provide funds between $10,000 to $25,000. Community groups can apply for the larger leverage grants twice a year - see the

funding rounds table below.Projects in both tiers must clearly demonstrate a focus on one activity from the following seven activity areas. Click on the activity to reveal examples of what could be funded.

1. Building community resilience2. Developing organisational resilience and capacity3. Enhancing environmental sustainability4. Fostering cultural vibrancy5. Lifelong learning and education6. Economic strength7. Improving community health and social wellbeing

Priority and Eligibility

Applications from not-for-profit organisations in communities of less than 15,000 people are prioritised, particularly communities whose size, remoteness and relative access to services, funding, and resources present particular ongoing challenges.

Please read the Guidelines and supporting documents before applying.

Funding Rounds

Strengthening Rural Communities is a rolling grants program, which means that applications will be accepted at any time for the Small & Vital tier of funding. Larger Leverage grants open twice a year, alongside the Small & Vital tier.

Arts and Cultural Funding Program GuidelinesCreate NSW’s Arts and Cultural Funding Program 2019/20 provides funding opportunities for arts and cultural organisations, professional artists and arts/cultural workers across a wide range of artforms and disciplines.

In May 2019 the Minister for the Arts Don Harwin announced changes to the Arts and Cultural Development Program and how this may affect anyone considering applying for funding in the 2019/20 financial year.

What has changed

Application processes

To make it simpler and easier to apply, we’ve consolidated 14 individual project funding rounds into two open rounds per year which includes Project, Creative Koori Projects and Annual Organisation funding.

Page | 12

Grants Available in August 2019Funding limits for these categories have been removed, which means an increase to the amounts applicants can apply for.

We have also introduced fixed application timelines, with clear notification dates. That way, applicants will know at the time of applying when they will receive funding results.

Reduced assessment criteria

Assessment criteria have been reduced from 26 to three key elements to enable a wider breadth of artists, organisations and cultural workers to apply for funding. New assessment criteria are outlined in each funding category.

Decision making informed by expert panels

We have also reviewed our assessment panel processes.

All applications will now be assessed by an artform-specific Board rather than a cross-sector panel of peers. Boards will be made up of artform leaders and broad sector representation to improve transparency and ensure greater confidence in our decision-making processes.

All applicants to the Arts and Cultural Funding Program can elect which Board should assess their application – including Aboriginal applicants who can decide whether their application is assessed by an Artform Board or the Aboriginal Arts and Culture Board.

The Expression of Interest (EOI) process calling for nominations for Board members is now open. Visit the Create NSW Artform Assessment Boards EOI page to submit your application.

Benefits of the revised funding program

As well as being able to better respond to the needs of the sector, the new Arts and Cultural Funding Program supports a broader range of applicants, new ideas and new models of working.

Long-lead funding notification dates have also been published for the first time, to allow applicants to submit proposals with confidence and the knowledge of when they will receive results and be able to confirm employment, presentation dates and other funding sources.

Next steps

The first funding round opens 5 August 2019 and closes 2 September 2019; the second funding round opens 3 February 2020 and closes 2 March 2020.

Full Project, Creative Koori Projects and Annual Organisation funding guidelines are now available via the links below. You may submit only one application per round to the above programs.

In the meantime, you can review the key information for each of the funding categories below. If you have questions email arts.funding@create.nsw.gov.au or call (02) 8289 6520 between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday.

As times have been tough on the land, it would be great if organisations sought funding to hold events in our smaller centres, for example; Laggan, Taralga, Bigga, Tuena, Binda, Tarago, Gunning, Collector. Events don’t have to be grand, in fact really quite simple is often the best – just getting people together for a chat, something to eat and drink – such as this winning application:

Jamberoo region dairy farmers – Get togethers (Country Women’s Association Jamberoo)

An initiative coordinated and hosted by the Country Women's Association (CWA), the events will encourage farmers, their families and communities to come together to support one another. The two ‘Get togethers’ are aimed at promoting social connectedness and community resilience.

Drought support - Empowering our Communities

Currently, much of rural and regional NSW is experiencing widespread drought conditions, meaning farmers, their families and rural communities may be experiencing significant levels of stress impacting on their mental health.

The Federal Government announced a further $15.5 million to support mental health services to drought-affected communities throughout Australia, including South Eastern NSW PHN.

COORDINARE, as the South Eastern NSW PHN, will receive funding through this initiative to aid community-led initiatives and improve mental health, wellbeing and community resilience.

In a Good Place

In a Good Place is a national grants program that provides support for community-driven initiatives that reduce social isolation, increase social participation and connectedness, and encourage people in rural, regional and remote communities who are at risk of, or are experiencing, mental health issues to seek help.

There are three objectives for this program:

1. Reduce social isolation;
