K. Discretionary Grants

Discretionary Grant Programs Administered by the Department

In 2008–09 we administered the following discretionary grant programs:

The Research Support for Counter Terrorism (RSCT) program is managed by the National Security Science and Technology (NSST) Unit within the Defence, Intelligence and Research Coordination Division. The program was first announced as part of the Further Enhancing Protective Security arrangements section of the Investing in Australia’s Security package in 2004‑05. More information about the RSCT program is available at http://www.pmc.gov.au/nsst/

The Australiana Fund is classified as a discretionary grant. A grant-in-aid was provided to the Australiana Fund (the Fund) to enable the Fund to obtain professional assistance to meet the objectives set out in its memorandum of association. The grant also ensures that money raised by the Fund is available for the acquisition of Australian objects for placement or display. The Official Establishments Unit manages the grant-in-aid to the Fund. The 2008–09 grant-in-aid was $117,700 (including GST). Information about the grant-in-aid is available at http://www.pmc.gov.au/accountability/grants/index.cfm
