Information for successful applicants - What to do

1. Keep your contact info up to date
Once you’re told your application has been successful, please check that your Primary Applicant’s contact details in SmartyGrants are current. We’ll send all grant-related documents and emails to that person. If your Primary Applicant is away for a while, we suggest using SmartyFile to store and share key contacts with your team.

2. Funding conditions
Grant funding is based on the information in your application. You must:

  • use the grant for the approved purpose,
  • follow any terms set out in your grant deed, and
  • meet the requirements in the program guidelines.

If these conditions aren’t met — or if false or misleading information is provided — the funding must be paid back to the Department of Premier and Cabinet. At a minimum, you’ll need to submit a final report at the end of the grant to show how the funding was used.

If your grant is $10,000 or less:
You’ll likely get an email asking you to complete a ‘Grant Agreement and Invoice Lodgement Form’ online.
You’ll need to provide:

  • a correct invoice (see our GST guide under the 'Useful tools' section below), and
  • a PDF showing your bank details (must match what you submitted in your application).

Please send these on time so we can pay you promptly. If your grant is a bit more complex, you may get a ‘Grant Document and Invoice Lodgement Form’ instead — see the section below for next steps.

If your grant is over $10,000:
You’ll be asked by email to complete a ‘Grant Document and Invoice Lodgement Form’, plus:

  • return the signed grant deed,
  • provide an invoice for payment, and
  • include bank confirmation details.

Only the signing page of the grant deed needs to be returned, which you can lodge back through smarty grants — no need to post hard copies. Before signing, check your organisation’s Constitution to see if a Common Seal is needed for grants of this size. Once we have everything and it’s correct, we’ll finalise the deed electronically and keep it on record.
