Disability Advocacy Support Program: Service Delivery

The Service Delivery grant opportunity funds organisations to provide individual disability advocacy to people with disability, their families, carers and kin in defined service areas nationally. Services are expected to be delivered predominantly in person, where possible and appropriate. This includes the organisation’s business premises as well as community settings.

Grantees must demonstrate the experience and capabilities needed to achieve program outcomes (Appendix A of the Grant Opportunity Guidelines). Non negotiable capabilities form eligibility criteria in the Guidelines, while desirable capabilities (Appendix B) may be developed over time. 

Six year grants will be offered to successful applicants with strong capabilities that improve national coverage, including: lead organisations in networks/consortia; individual providers able to deliver across large regions, including at national, state or territory coverage; and Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations with advocacy experience.

Applicants not fully meeting desired capabilities may receive three year grants and must show progress to be considered for funding beyond June 2029. Smaller organisations serving limited regions may apply, but are unlikely to receive six year grants due to limited funding and the focus on national coverage.
