Note
The Commonwealth Simple Grant Agreement is not just one document - it’s made up of a number of documents. Funded organisations must make sure they are aware of the terms of all the documents as, together, they make up the Commonwealth Simple Grant Agreement.

We have been forced to start removing our resources for NSW-based community organisations.
We developed a guide to the Human Services Agreement that provided information on the key obligations of organisations under the Human Services Agreement and included checklists to help organisations comply with their obligations. We also developed a fact sheet for organisations funded by the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ). This fact sheet helped organisations understand the supplementary conditions contained in the DCJ schedule to the Human Services Agreement.
Last year we told you that, since the NSW Government had stopped funding our work, we had no choice but to cut off our NSW advice services completely and remove our tailored legal information resources for NSW-based community organisations from our website.
We’re grateful to have secured short-term support from another funder which means we can get our NSW-specific resources back on our website for the time being. This particular resource will be back online soon.
However, this support is time limited, and it’s not enough to reopen our advice service in NSW.
We need your help to ensure a sustainable NSW community sector where frontline organisations can access our free legal support to help them deliver services to the growing number of people in need across the state every day.
