QuestionView source ↗
(1) Is the Minister aware that many Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) which receive State Government funding to undertake community-based projects strongly prefer that project time lines be three years, rather than the currently more common one year time frame?
(2) Do the various agencies within the Minister’s portfolios have a policy of funding NGOs for three or more years for appropriate community-based projects and, if not, why not?
(3) Is there an NGO peak council or similar advisory body to which Government agencies can seek advice on issues such the preferred length of contracts and, if yes, has this body advised Government of its position on the preferred length of agency contracts to NGOs?
