32.8What costs are allowable to be claimed as Establishment Funds? If premises, equipment and vehicles are leased for the term of the grant, is it possible to claim the total cost of lease/s as ‘Establishment Funds’ even though the cost will be ongoing to us for the term of the lease/s. For example, if office space is leased/rented for a period of 24 months at cost of $100 per month (payable monthly), does the total amount of $2,400 fall under the ‘Establishment Funds’ guidelines.
Please see the notes in the "Instructions" Tab of the Pricing Response Schedule in relation to Establishment Funds which provides guidance in relation to what costs can be claimed as Establishment Funds.
Establishment Funds should cover initial costs incurred to ensure readiness for provision of Services. Ongoing costs should be met through the regular payments of Service Area Funds.
Using the example provided in the question, the $100 monthly lease/rental cost would form part of the Service Area Funds – Indirect Costs, Corporate Overheads which includes “indirect costs associated with ongoing operations including HR costs, finance costs, facility costs, corporate costs and governance costs.” (Emphasis added.)
