SARC helps build strong and resilient communities that support people to:

• overcome disadvantage
• provide greater community engagement
• promote participation and belonging
• promote better education, training and employment
• build self-reliance and empowerment.

SARC supports one-off, time limited projects for up to 2 years. It does not assist ongoing service delivery.

This grant aims to improve the social and economic participation of 4 target groups:

• Young people aged 12 to 18 years who are disengaged, or at risk of disengaging, from education to reconnect with their community, school, training and/or employment.
• People with disability to participate in the community, and work towards becoming or remaining independent and engaged in the economy and/or society.
• Women who experience, or are at risk of experiencing, isolation, or discrimination to participate in the community and/or economy and increase their self-agency.
• People who are unemployed to increase participation in their community and/or increase their capacity to engage in employment, training, or existing employment services.
