The Participation Grant Program (previously known as CEO Grants) will support and accommodate advocates’ engagement in government, regulatory and or industry decision making processes, or for small, targeted research projects, recognising the need to respond within short timeframes.
Examples of projects that could be funded include:
- engaging a consultant to provide technical or specialist expertise for a submission.
- undertaking research to inform and support future advocacy;
- undertaking workshops; and
- funding for reasonable travel costs (flights, accommodation, transfers but not sitting fees) to engage in government, regulatory and industry forums relating to that process, and where video conferencing is not provided
Information on previous Grants can be found by accessing the Grants Archive on Energy Consumers Australia’s website.
