UCASS Program

The Ukrainian Community and Settlement Support (UCASS) program seeks to enable the member organisations of the Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations to undertake critical work to welcome and support recently arrived displaced Ukrainians.

The grant program is scheduled to run from December 2022 to June 2024. 


 

Supporting the Ukrainian Community

The program provides grants to member organisations of The Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations (at the time the grant round opened) undertaking critical work to welcome and support recent arrivals from Ukraine.

The program is administered by The Social Policy Group (SPG) on behalf of the Australian Government.
