WHAT ABOUT FUNDING?

It is essential that adequate ongoing funding is available to establish and maintain a   scheme and to provide continuity both for families and for the volunteers. Core funding is needed to cover:

	The Coordinator's salary
	Administrative costs
	Rent, telephone, insurance, postage and stationery
	Preparation Courses
	Volunteer's out-of-pocket expenses
	Project equipment and publicity
	Annual fee to Home-Start National (Affiliation fee for Training, Information and Guidance)

Mostly

	Schemes in New South Wales are funded under the Families First NSW
	In Victoria the ABERCARE Home-Start program is funded under the Commonwealth Government.
