Communities for Children: sites, funded organisations and funding
Sites
Communities for Children sites span urban, regional and remote areas across Australia. They have been selected on the basis of a range of information including proportion of children in the community, numbers of families receiving Family Tax Benefit, consultations with state and territory governments and indicators of disadvantage. Funding for each site ranges from $1.5 million to $5 million.New South Wales
