Application outcomes

Application outcomes will be announced shortly when all negotiations are complete and recipients are onboarded.

There is no appeal mechanism for decisions approving or not approving a grant.

Feedback

Applicants whose project was not selected for funding have been advised of the outcome via email.

We received an extremely high volume of applications, reflecting the strong interest in the Child Safeguarding Grants program. This reflects the pre-existing awareness and ambitious vision that organisations throughout Queensland have to embed the Child Safe Standards and Universal Principle within their organisations’ processes, policies and practices, ahead of implementation of the Child Safe Organisations Act 2024.

Applications were assessed against the objectives of each individual Grant Category. While we are unable to provide individual feedback to grant applicants, the selection panel observed that the successful applicants:

• Clearly demonstrated a deep understanding and appreciation of the Child Safe Standards and Universal Principle
• Provided clear consideration about how to embed the Universal Principle as part of their project, and how to appropriately engage with and remunerate cultural advisors
• Proposed projects that maximised their reach beyond their own organisation
• Demonstrated strong alignment with the grant objectives
• Detailed how existing resources, networks or relationships would be leveraged
• Clearly demonstrated how knowledge or improved practice would be sustained over time
• Proposed a clear approach to evaluating the impact of their project using multiple measures and embedding this into an approach for continuous improvement.

We sincerely thank you for your interest in the QFCC’s Child Safeguarding Grants program and your commitment to improving child safeguarding in Queensland.
