4.3 Grant Programs

As part of the Government’s reforms introduced to improve the transparency and accountability of grants administration, the Commonwealth Grant Guidelines came into effect on 1 July 2009. The guidelines apply to all departments subject to the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997.

The guidelines require that departments publish details of grants on their website, no later than seven working days after the funding agreement for the grant takes effect. Details must remain on the website for two years.

Information on grants awarded by the Department of Health and Ageing during the period 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011 is available at: www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/pfps-grantsreporting in Microsoft Excel and PDF formats. Additional information on grants reporting is available from the department’s Program Funding and Procurement Service on (02) 6289 5921.
