Indigenous Remote Service Delivery Traineeship Program - Training Support for Participants

Overview

The purpose of the grant is to provide funds to organisations that are participating in the Indigenous Remote Service Delivery Traineeship (IRSDT) program to meet the costs of delivering and facilitating training for trainees engaged as part of the program. Participating trainees have been identified through the Indigenous Remote Service Delivery Traineeship Program - Participation Nomination and Participant Wages (GO1604) process, the purpose of which is to provide grant funding as a contribution to the wages of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander trainees participating in the program. Organisations that do not apply for participant training support funding under this Grant Opportunity (GO2547), will not be able to participate further in the IRSDT Program. That means you will not receive funding for the participant wages element applied for under GO1604, referred to above. The objectives of the grant are to: • assist trainees to obtain qualifications in business, leadership and management that are relevant to the work of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander aged and primary health care services; and • enable delivery of training in a culturally-appropriate manner to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander trainees participating in the program. The Australian Government will provide funding of up to $1.825 million (GST exclusive) for the 2019-20 financial year for this element of the Indigenous Remote Service Delivery Traineeship (IRSDT) program.
