House of Assembly Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Estimates Replies Grant Programs Grant Programs In reply to Mr TELFER House of Assembly Flinders Grant Programs In reply to Mr TELFER (Flinders) (24 June 2024). (Estimates Committee B) The Hon. N.F. COOK House of Assembly Hurtle Vale Minister for Human Services Minister for Seniors and Ageing Well Grant Programs The Hon. N.F. COOK (Hurtle Vale—Minister for Human Services, Minister for Seniors and Ageing Well): I have been advised: DHS and Grants SA did not have a specific grant round targeted at supporting volunteers in 2023-24. However, within the 2023-24 financial year we estimate that 156 organisations received either DHS or Grants SA grant funding across a variety of not-for-profit grant agreements some of which include the target group of the grant being volunteers or have volunteers as named beneficiaries. As per the above, for the 2024-25 financial year we are unable to provide an estimated figure relating to the number of volunteer organisations who may be a recipient of grant funding. This is due to funding often being allocated on a merit-based selection process following grant rounds or the status of recipients being unknown. Please note that the above is limited to not-for-profit grant agreements and does not capture spend or funding provided to volunteer organisations through differing contract mechanisms.
