What areas will panel members service?
When appointing organisations to the Innovation Fund panel, DEEWR took a number of factors into account including geographical coverage. Tenderers were required to indicate the states and/or territories in which they were willing to provide services. Panel members are listed on the DEEWR website under the states and/or territories in which they are willing to provide services. If a panel member wants to submit a proposal for the project located outside of their initial geographic coverage, they could do so and will need to indicate in their proposal for funding that this is outside of the states/territories they have originally identified. DEEWR will consider this as a request to vary the states and/ or territories in which a panel member is willing to offer services. If DEEWR agrees to this request, the panel member will be formally advised.
