Active Industry Base Fund
The Active Industry Base Fund 2023–2025 will commence from 1 July 2023, replacing the Active Industry Fund.
The new Active Industry Base Fund 2023–2025 will focus on strengthening the capability of state level organisations so they can meet the changing needs of Queenslanders.
The Active Industry Base Fund 2023–2025 will consider eligible organisations against key criteria including participation statistics, state-wide presence and resource capacity (both human and financial) to ensure the program provides maximum benefit for Queenslanders.
The new Base Fund will support more Queensland active industry organisations with the change to the program’s funding model and will mean a more equitable distribution of funding.
Funding is designed to build and strengthen the capability of eligible organisations to service current and emerging needs within their activity or sector across the following areas:
- Robust governance including strategy and innovation, financial health and stability.
- Modern and reliable technology and systems.
- Ensuring the workforce has appropriate skills, knowledge and behaviours.
- Development of modified and/or improved participation offerings.
