Once a grant is approved, we'll send you a letter advising what has been approved and any outstanding requirements for payment to be made. This information is detailed in the Grant Approval Schedule. An example is available here.
Claims for payment of your grant should be made using the Grant Management Tool.
You can preview the questions in the Grant Management Tool via the example link here.
Or, you can begin making a claim via the live Grant Management Tool here.
Retrospective costs (for items or expenses incurred prior to grant approval) will not be met by the grant except in exceptional circumstances.
All grants made by Lotterywest are made exclusive of GST on the items that the grant has been approved for, unless otherwise advised.
However, if your organisation is registered for GST, when Lotterywest makes a payment of grant monies to your organisation, you will receive a Recipient Created Tax Invoice (RCTI) which identifies a GST component that has been included within the payment to your organisation. This GST component is required by the Australian Taxation Office as GST due on the grant payment itself and should be forwarded by your organisation to the Australian Tax Office. It is not to be treated as a reimbursement for any GST you may have paid on goods or services related to your claim for payment. An example of a RCTI is available here.
Grants are paid through an electronic funds transfer. Please ensure that the bank account details provided are your organisation’s main operating account and that these are always kept up to date in the Lotterywest Portal.
