📢 Eligibility:
- Not-for-profit organisations, including local councils and state government departments, excluding school associations
- Must be incorporated, be a not-for-profit legal entity, or be sponsored by an eligible incorporated/not-for-profit legal entity
- Must be based in Tasmania or delivering the project in Tasmania
- Must provide at least a 10% cash contribution of the amount requested
- Projects can run for up to two years
📝 How drinking water stations (CIVIQ) apply or meet the guidelines for this funding:
CIVIQ drinking water stations could fit this grant well when positioned as a school-based infrastructure project that removes barriers to learning and supports student wellbeing. A refill station gives students easy access to fresh drinking water during the school day, which can support concentration, hydration, health, and school participation. The bottle refill feature helps reduce sugary drink use and single-use plastic waste, while the custom artwork option allows the school to include student-led design, school branding, or wellbeing and sustainability messages. Because the guidelines allow infrastructure or equipment where this clearly removes barriers for 8 to 19 year olds to stay engaged with learning, a strong application should link the station directly to student wellbeing, accessibility, and learning engagement rather than only environmental benefits.
