Try, Test and Learn Fund tranche two information session - Brisbane

You are invited to attend a Try, Test and Learn Fund information session on Monday 19 February 2018 in Brisbane, hosted by the Australian Government’s Department of Social Services.

The session will provide an overview of the new tranche of the $96.1 million Try, Test and Learn Fund; there will also be time for questions and answers.

Tranche two has a continuously open application period allowing individuals and organisations to submit proposals at any time from 22 November 2017 to 28 September 2018.

Tranche two will support small-scale innovative trial projects, targeting those in identified priority groups—or other suggested groups—to move from welfare to work. The priority groups are:

• Newstart recipients aged 50 years and over

• Migrants and refugees on a working age income support payment

• Working age carers on Carer Payment

• At-risk young people on income support.

This tranche will also welcome ideas to support other vulnerable groups at risk of long-term welfare dependence.

Tranche two will build on the success of the initial tranche, which saw over $23 million invested in 14 trial initiatives to support young carers, young parents and young students at risk of long-term unemployment.
