59086 (2025). Arena Williams to the Minister for Youth: How many grants, if any, have been issued from the Youth Development Partnership and Innovation Fund since 12 August 2025, and how much of the $3 million has been disbursed as of 15 December 2025?

Hon James Meager: In the four months since the fund was developed, established, advertised, expressions of interest sought, preferred partners identified, and contracts and terms negotiated (including the Christmas holiday period), no contracts for services have commenced. Funded initiatives for programmes delivering up to $6 million total of co-funded support will be announced soon.
