This group is quite broad, including people aged 16 to 21 who receive Youth Allowance (other) or Disability Support Pension (with mental health as the primary condition). As at 30 June 2017, were around 109,000 young people in this priority group. The and barriers to employment for members of this group are highly varied and may include disengagement from education, experience of severe family breakdown, history of abuse, drug and alcohol misuse, or family instability. Almost 4 in 10 (38 per cent) live in inner and outer regional areas. Sixteen per cent of the group are Indigenous. Seven per cent are on DSP with mental health issues. Not all young people on these payments are considered at-risk, but there will be with various significant risk characteristics. Slide 10 Process – I’ll now outline the general process for applying for funding through tranche 2. For those of you that participated in tranche one, the tranche 2 process will look quite different. Tranche 2 is more closely aligned to a traditional open competitive grant process than tranche one was. Organisations can apply for grant funding, proposing their unique approach to assist identified individuals at risk of long-term welfare dependence. To submit a grant application, you need to visit the Department’s Community Grants Hub or the Australian Government’s GrantConnect websites. Here you will also find the Grant Opportunity Guidelines, which I strongly encourage you to read. In fact, the vast majority of answers to questions about this grant process that people have come to us with can be found in the Grant Opportunity Guideline. On the grants hub website, you will also find: questions and answers, including a transcript of any Q&A from these information sessions a copy of the DSS Comprehensive Grant Agreement Terms and Conditions sample application a project plan template and other information.
