All applications must be submitted online, unless a prior arrangement has been agreed with the Department of Premier and Cabinet.

After assessments are completed, program staff will put together the panel’s recommendations for approval by the Minister for Multicultural Affairs.
The decision of the Minister for Multicultural Affairs is final.
All applicants will be emailed with the outcome of their application.
