The Australian Government Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (the Department) has a suite of documents (the Program Guideline Suite) which provide information relating to the Program. They provide the key starting point for parties considering whether to participate in the Program and form the basis for the business relationship between the Department and the funding recipient. The Program Guidelines Suite consists of three parts: - Part A: Allowances, Concessions and Services for Seniors Program Guidelines This provides an overview of the Allowances, Concessions and Services for Seniors Program and the Activities relating to the program. - Part B: Information for Applicants This provides information on the Application, Assessment, Selection and Complaints processes; and Financial and Funding Agreement (Kiosk Host Agreement) arrangements. - Part C: Application Information for Allowances, Concessions and Services for Seniors Program This provides specific information on the Activity, Selection Criteria, Performance Management and Reporting. This part should be read in conjunction with the General Grant Conditions. The Application Form is separate to the Program Guidelines Suite and must be completed by applicants applying for funding during a selection process. The Department reserves the right to amend these documents from time to time by whatever means it may determine in its absolute discretion and will provide reasonable notice of these amendments.
