The Department funds one discretionary grant program.
Discretionary grants are payments where the Minister of the paying agency has discretion in determining whether or not a particular applicant receives funding. The payment can be made to an organisation or individual and is provided without expectation of a service to government in return for the grant. This definition includes program grants as well as ad-hoc and one-off payments and excludes:
payments directly associated with the provision of government services via contracting out arrangements;
grants to other government agencies and overseas aid organisations;
various Department of Family and Community Services, Department of Veterans' Affairs, ABSTUDY and Department of Education, Science and Training income support and emergency payments; grants under commercial industry development programs (including to increase research and development and assist exporters); and
grants to educational and medical research institutions.
Grants funded for more than one year are classified as multi-year grants.
The following list details the discretionary grants program within the Department, a brief description of the program and the total aggregate payments made in 2002-03.

Community Sector Support Scheme (CSSS)
|
The CSSS provides national secretariat funding to secretariats of community organisations that focus their efforts on activities that respond to the health and ageing needs of the community. The funded organisations provide a mechanism for information flow between the Australian Government and their membership, draw together views on issues of relevance to their membership and the Australian Government, and provide a consultative mechanism for the Department.
