In addition, organisations must demonstrate that their principal objective is to provide welfare or wellbeing services or supports to the ex-service community in Victoria, be financially solvent, be based in Australia, and deliver funded projects in Victoria. Ineligible organisations include state and federal government departments, individuals and sole traders, commercial enterprises, most schools, pre-schools, TAFE institutes, universities (except as auspice bodies), hospitals and health service organisations, organisations that have failed to comply with previous departmental grant terms, and groups whose projects are the responsibility of another Victorian government department. Projects must not start before 2026 for this round, must occur in Victoria, and must not include ineligible costs such as vehicles, capital works, branded material, commemoration and education activities, utilities, ongoing staffing or office costs, or activities already funded or the responsibility of another government program.
