Funding for Community Groups

Applications are invited for funding under the Community Development and Support Expenditure (CDSE) Scheme.

The CDSE scheme allows registered clubs with annual gaming machine revenue of more than $1 million to allocate 1.5 per cent of their gaming machine revenue to specific community development and support projects.

At least 50 per cent of funding from each club is to be allocated to category one projects. To qualify for category one funding, the project must fall within the following areas:

• community welfare and social services,
• community development
• community health services, or
• employment assistance activities.

Funding for other community development and support services are generally considered as category two applications and can be directed to registered clubs directly.

Applications close in February for Round 1 grants and in July for Round 2 grants.

Enquiries regarding the next round of funding and application forms should be directed to the local CDSE committee at:
