Learning System Grants

Learning System Grants awarded to nine successful applicants

The Centre is very pleased to announce the successful applicants for the 2020-21 Learning System Grants. These grants are funded by the Department of Health and Human Services and administered by the Centre. The aim is to strengthen the capacity of child and family services in Victoria to generate evidence and deliver evidence-informed services. The Centre is documenting the impacts from the projects funded so far to share with CSOs and government. There are some fantastic stories of what can be achieved with these modest grants.
