Brokerage funding

SFYS Coordinators are allocated funding to meet demonstrated service gaps and needs at the local level. Funding is available to schools and agencies who can develop projects in partnership.

Brokerage projects are expected to:

  • Decrease the risk of young people further developing behaviours that lead to self-harm; 
  • Enhance young people's connections to school, family, peers and/or the community; or
  • Facilitate collaborative structures and improve linkages between schools/education sector and relevant youth and community services to support young people displaying 'at risk' behaviours.

Projects that will be highly regarded are:

  • Projects that will result in positive education and training outcomes for students and service systems; 
  • Demonstrated partnerships between schools, youth and community agencies; or 
  • Demonstrated sustainability beyond SFYS funding.

Applicants are advised to contact the SFYS Coordinator regarding their proposal. The Coordinator can also be involved in assisting the project submission.
