Grant program/fund name Purpose of grant program/fund

Unaccompanied Humanitarian Minors Unaccompanied Humanitarian Minor' ('UHM') is a non-citizen minor under 18 years of age who is not in the care of either parent. The humanitarian reference is added once an unaccompanied minor is granted either a visa onshore or offshore under the Humanitarian Program. Unaccompanied humanitarian minors covers wards, non wards and isolated non wards. DCP seeks reimbursement on a quarterly basis in arrears from the commonwealth government based on the number of young people in its care for that period.

Transition to Independent Living Allowance (TILA) TILA is an allowance that is designed to help young people exiting formal care and make a successful transition to independent living. The allowance is to be used to meet some of the costs associated with moving to independent living, for young people who are or have been in formal care and are aged between 15-25 years. DCP applies to the commonwealth government for individual support packages up to the value of $1,500.

Adolescent Community Brokerage The program provides brokerage funding to assist young people under the Guardianship of the Chief Executive or those experiencing disadvantage and who have been identified as homeless or at risk of homelessness. Housing SA provide grant funding to the Department for Child Protection based on a yearly amount in an MOAA. This grant is paid quarterly in advance.

Out-of-Home Care Out-of-home Care provision for children and young people under custody or Guardianship of the Chief Executive. Payments are generally made to non-government organisations on a quarterly basis.
