The Julia Farr Association (JFA) Noske Christmas Fund is now receiving applications for the 2010 round.
The fund is a small annual distribution, which has been developed to carry out the wishes of the late Mr Noske who generously set aside funds to enable people living with disability (who meet the eligibility criteria) to celebrate Christmas. Grants are limited to no more than $200 per applicant and will be allocated at the discretion of the JFA Trust Fund sub-committee.
The Julia Farr Association will distribute the funds each year and will call for interested candidates prior to the Christmas period.
The JFA is releasing the grant in July to allow people time to complete their applications, to then be considered, with funds to be distributed during the Christmas season.
This is a great little grant which has the potential to really help a person celebrate the good things in life during the festive period. Applications for funding can take many forms and might be thought of as a personal gift, travel to see family/friends or a special item. Preference will be given to applications which fund items of special importance to the individual. These items will be funded in preference to communal Christmas parties as these events are generally seen as the responsibility of the personal support agency.
Funding is limited to less than $200 per applicant and will be allocated at the discretion of the JFA Trust Fund sub-committee. No guarantee of funding is given and the total funds available are limited. Part funding may be allocated.
Those Eligible to apply are people who:
To apply candidates need to submit a completed application form to the Julia Farr office by 5pm Wednesday, 25th August 2010.

Self-managed funding, also known as individualised funding, is an approach used to enable people with disabilities to have control and choice about the supports they receive. Self-managed funding gives a person with a disability control of the funding that has been allocated for their support needs. It enables the individual to choose how, where and when they receive the support they need.
Self-managed funding can range from a direct payment to a person with a disability to enable them to arrange and purchase the support they require, through to arrangements which support a person to self-manage.
At the request of the Minister for Disability, the Department for Families and Communities has been planning the implementation of self-managed funding arrangements. The Office for Disability and Client Services has been leading the work which has entailed broad consultation with people with disabilities and their carers, service providers and other key stakeholders. Phase one is commencing with current clients of Disability SA being invited to register interest in participating in the phase one initiative. A panel will select 50 people to participate in phase one. Participants will be current clients of Disability SA and have an existing allocation of ongoing disability support. No additional funding is associated with this initiative.
Phase One: Self-managed Funding is a development phase. Self-managed funding represents a new form of service delivery for people with disabilities and their carers and service providers. For this reason participants will participate in an evaluation that informs future self-management arrangements. Disability SA will ensure that participants have access to training, advice and assistance throughout Phase One.
Disability SA has set up an information line to provide information and answer any queries.
People interested in submitting a Registration of Interest and obtaining an information pack can do so via:
