Liquor Accords Financial Assistance Program
The Queensland Government has established this program to provide one-off financial assistance to liquor accords for projects which seek to minimise harm from alcohol use and abuse in the local community.
The objective of the assistance program is to encourage the development and delivery of best practice harm minimisation initiatives by liquor accords in Queensland.
The assistance program will be open for one round only.
Liquor accords submitting an application must demonstrate the potential benefits the proposed project will bring to the local community.
As a guide, a non-exhaustive list of harm minimisation initiatives that may be considered favourably include:
- education programs, for example, ‘Think the Drink’ education sessions for school leavers
- signage, posters or brochures to raise awareness of an individual’s rights and responsibilities in relation to alcohol consumption
- designated driver programs
- measures to improve safety in the community, for example, extra lighting around the CBD and/or licensed premises.
Who can apply?
- A liquor accord which is an incorporated/registered not-for-profit legal entity.
- A sponsored liquor accord. A sponsored liquor accord must apply through a legal entity which may include local businesses.
Please refer to page four ‘Organisation eligibility’ of the Liquor accords grant guidelines for more information about the eligibility requirements.
How much can I apply for?
Liquor accords can apply for up to a maximum of $5,000 whether the liquor accord is registered for GST or not. An eligible liquor accord can only submit one application for funding.
What is the closing date?
The closing date for applications is 29 April 2011.
