Strengthening Community Service Delivery

Strengthening Community Service Delivery grants have been developed to add value to the various not-for-profit community services available to the Western Australian Community. They recognise the critical role played by community services in helping to improve the quality of life for our citizens.

Priority for these grants is given to:

• Organisations that provide support to disadvantaged people or groups
• Proposals that will provide a broad community benefit

Emergency Services

Lotterywest supports grants to those volunteer emergency service groups who are providing vital services within the community. Grants are available to cover the cost of capital items that improve the standards of equipment for the volunteers delivering the services. Though not exclusively, these grants tend to be only available to specific organisational groups such as St John Ambulance, Royal Flying Doctor Service, Surf Life Saving Clubs, Bush Fire Brigades, Local Government Authorities, State and Emergency Services and Volunteer Marine Rescue Services.

Emergency Services and the Emergency Services Levy

Our support for organisations that are direct beneficiaries of the Fire and Emergency Services Authority (FESA) Emergency Service Levy (Volunteer State Emergency Service Units, Bush Fire Brigades, Emergency Services Units, Fire & Rescue Services and Fire Service Brigades) is for items that cannot be accommodated within the FESA capital grant program and/or service contract arrangements.  We encourage these organisations to discuss their needs with their FESA representative or Lotterywest prior to submitting a grant application.
