Submission in response to paper ‘A New Tasmanian Community Grants Program’

In this submission Anglicare raises three main concerns in relation to the proposals presented in the discussion paper. Firstly Anglicare is concerned about the loss of independence from government which would arise from the merger of the two funds and the proposals for governance of the new fund. Secondly Anglicare is concerned about the potential loss of the original intent of the Tasmanian Community Fund. Thirdly there are a number of serious concerns about the operation of the Community Support Levy.
