The Community-led Support Fund (CSF) has been developed based on the East Kimberley Local Services Plan, developed by the Department of Social Services based on stakeholder feedback about identified service gaps in the region in the wake of ending of the Cashless Debit Card program in 2022.

BBY has partnered with DSS to administer funding to community organisations in the Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley (SWEK), with the objective of supporting services in line with findings from the East Kimberley (SWEK) Local Services Plan.

The purpose of the CSF grant opportunity is to:

·       Provide short-term funding that meets the immediate needs identified in the Plans

·       Support the implementation or expansion of support services aligned with community needs.

The following thematic areas are featured in the Local Services Plan for the East Kimberley (SWEK) and are in scope to be addressed through the Community-led Support Fund:

·       Family and domestic violence support services

·       Alcohol and drug support services

·       Emergency relief and financial capability building support services

·       Child, youth, and family support services
