About this resource

This information is for organisations running programs funded by the Department of Social Services (DSS) under the Communities for Children Facilitating Partners sub-activity of the Families and Children Activity.

If your organisation is not funded under Communities for Children, this resource is not for you.

50% evidence-based program requirement

Under the Communities for Children Facilitating Partners sub-activity, Facilitating Partners work with Community Partners to deliver programs and services.

In 2017, DSS introduced a requirement that Facilitating Partners allocate at least 50% of their funding to high-quality evidence-based programs.

There are 2 ways to meet this requirement:

1. Choose an existing program: see Choosing an existing evidence-based program.

2. Submit your own program: see Submitting your own program.
