The Support for Trafficked People Program: Additional Referral Pathway is a grant opportunity that will provide $2 million (GST exclusive) to an organisation (or consortia of organisations) to undertake an assessment of eligibility and make subsequent referrals to the STPP for eligible victim-survivors of human trafficking, slavery and slavery-like practices. The aim of this grant is to provide access to the STPP for victim-survivors who meet the eligibility criteria, however do not wish to engage with the Australian Federal Police for referral.
