To achieve our vision, we aim to provide funds across five priority areas:
- Inclusive thriving community
- Connected cultural experiences
- Protected sustainable ecosystems
- Smart innovative society
- Active healthy people
For each priority area there are supporting statements that highlight what outcomes you should be seeking to achieve from your idea to support the Western Australian community. If you need support, we can work with you to understand how your idea contributes towards achieving one or more of these outcomes.
We are committed to maximising the positive impact of our grants for the WA community. This includes looking beyond the direct outcomes of an initiative to promoting practices that are respectful of Aboriginal peoples, inclusive, healthy, sustainable and child safe.
That’s why our Good Practice Requirements apply to all grant requests received from 1 January 2024.
It is always good practice to engage with those who will benefit from, or be affected by, your initiative to make sure you are considering their needs and maximising impact.
Our team are here to help you think about what you might need in order to meet these requirements. This includes considering any costs associated with addressing the requirements as part of your grant.
