PART 2-4 - USE AND MANAGEMENT OF PUBLIC RESOURCES  

Division 6A - CCE grants made by or on behalf of corporate Commonwealth entities  

SECTION 25F   PUBLICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR CCE GRANTS MADE WITH MINISTER ' S APPROVAL  

25F(1)    
This section applies if a CCE grant is made by or on behalf of a corporate Commonwealth entity after being approved by a Minister.

25F(2)    
The accountable authority of the corporate Commonwealth entity must:

(a)    

publish information about the CCE grant on GrantConnect, including the following:

(i) the name of the recipient of the CCE grant;

(ii) the value of the CCE grant;

(iii) the purpose of the CCE grant;

(iv) whether there are confidentiality provisions relating to the CCE grant;

(iva) if the guidelines for the CCE grant opportunity were published on GrantConnect - a link to the guidelines;

(v) any other matters relating to the CCE grant that the accountable authority considers relevant; and

(b)    do so within 21 days after the day on which the CCE grant commences.

Note:

GrantConnect could in 2020 be viewed on the GrantConnect website (see https://www.grants.gov.au).

25F(2A)    

The accountable authority of the corporate Commonwealth entity must publish details of any material variation to the CCE grant on GrantConnect within 21 days after the day on which the variation takes effect.

25F(3)    

However, nothing in this section requires the accountable authority to publish particular information about the CCE grant if:

(a)    the accountable authority or the Minister decides that publishing that particular information would contravene:

(i) the Privacy Act 1988 or another law of the Commonwealth, or of a State or Territory; or

(ii) any terms or conditions relating to the CCE grant; or

(b)    the Finance Minister decides that there is a specific policy reason to not publish that particular information.

Note:

This exception applies in relation to particular information about a CCE grant and does not affect the requirement under subsection (2) or (2A) for the accountable authority to publish other information about the CCE grant. For example, if the accountable authority decides that publishing certain personal information would contravene the Privacy Act 1988 , that information may not be published, but the accountable authority must publish so much of the other information required under subsection (2) or (2A) as is not personal information or otherwise covered by this subsection.
