The Brokerage administered by the Statewide Children’s Resource Program has been refunded for the 2017-2018 financial year. Applications are now open.
This Brokerage Project, funded by DHHS, extended with the National Partnership rollover, is a wonderful addition to our program and we have been very impressed with the way people have thought creatively about how this money could support children within families they are working with.
Please read the Brokerage Guidelines and contact Susie Lukis for the 2017-2018 application form.
We know this money has made a very positive difference to the inclusion of vulnerable children in education and in their community. We thank you all for using this money to improve the lives of children experiencing disadvantage. Please pass this onto your teams and colleagues.
As well as the bokerage, please continue to use us as a resource for children in the Inner and Outer Eastern area. Our group work continues as previously and we are always open for referrals.

CHP's reaction to the Federal Budget
Council to Homeless Persons (CHP) reaction to the Federal Budget
On Tuesday night the Treasurer handed down the much anticipated Federal Budget 2017-18.
As a sector, we are celebrating the Federal Government having maintained the existing levels of homelessness funding, and the increased certainty of that funding, but have expressed concern that the additional investment needed to cope with the demand crisis was missing.
Watch this video of Jenny Smith giving a Budget reaction on behalf of Homelessness Australia, and read the Homelessness Australia media release, and read on for deeper analysis of Budget papers.
