Partners of The Salvation Army Australia Southern Territory are critical in the delivery of service and fulfillment of the mission. Partners are considered to be all levels of government, corporate entities that provide professional service and financial support, as well as individuals and groups that provide funding to support the work of the organisation.
Government Funding The Salvation Army Australia Southern Territory seeks significant funding from state and federal government in order to continue to deliver services and provide improved options for the people it serves. Both State and Federal government provide critical support on which the organisation depends. In all cases, The Salvation Army follows a funding process as required by the particular government department, generally taking the form of a standard tender for a specific service, centre or programme. In many cases funding coming from the government is renewed from the previous year for ongoing work. Funding from governmental bodies is granted for the rendering of services and for capital work. The following table provides an indication as to the level of government funding received for the past five years. 2009/10 $’000
