Natural disasters and other emergencies have the potential to significantly disrupt lives. People who are reliant on third party services to meet essential needs can be at risk of being impacted to a greater degree, particularly if the services they are reliant on are themselves impacted.
We want to support Tasmanian-based not-for-profit organisations who provide critical personal support services to the community to be better prepared and enabled to continue to provide these services during a disaster or to get back on their feet quickly if impacted, so the critical services they provide to the community experience minimal or no disruption.
Eligible applicants can apply for up to $20,000 to develop a plan for the continuity of their critical services during and after a disaster (service continuity plan); and/or implement identified priority actions within their plan.
The Grant Program’s purpose is to ensure the delivery of critical personal support services to Tasmanians are sustained during and after a disaster.
The total funding pool is $500,000.
Grants of up to $20,000 will be made available to not-for-profit organisations to develop a plan for the continuity of their critical services during and after a disaster (service continuity plan); and/or implement identified priority actions from their plan.
