Social services agreements and contracts

We fund non-government organisations to deliver a range of frontline services that enable vulnerable Queenslanders to improve their lives.

There are 2 agreements currently being used:

• service agreement—for the majority of service delivery funding
• short form agreement—for services or activities that are low risk and generally for funding under $100,000 per annum.

Service agreement

The service agreement is used for the majority of service delivery funding and is made up of 3 parts:

1. Service agreement – standard terms (PDF)
2. funding and service details, which
   • align with the whole of government service agreement – standard terms
   • include 1 or more funding schedules
3. funding schedules, which 
   • form part of the funding and service details
   • prescribe the funding and services to be delivered and reporting requirements.

Short form agreement

We use short form agreements for low risk and low value services or activities. The agreement is made up of 2 parts:

1. Short form terms and conditions (PDF)
2. particulars, in 2 versions:
   • particulars service provision—general (DOCX, 76 KB)
   • particulars non-service provision—events, products or minor assets (DOCX, 62 KB).

Where an organisation has a service agreement in place, funding may be added to the existing service agreement through a funding schedule, rather than entering into a separate short form agreement.
