Western Australian Community Impact Hub

An initiative of Lotterywest and Healthway

The Western Austalian Community Impact Hub (the Impact Hub) is a free online tool to support WA not-for-profits and local governments to maximise the positive social impact from their funded projects and initiatives.

A central source of data, knowledge and insight, it houses a suite of simple, practical tools to support improved project design, impact planning and outcomes-based funded community projects.

The Community Impact Planner contains three tools that can help you plan your project and present it to others. The planner will help you understand your vision, plan your impact and report on the outcomes of your project. You can complete all three tools, or just select and export the one you need.

For more information, please visit the West Australian Community Impact Hub.

Public Liability Insurance

All applicants for the City of Stirling Community Grants Program will need adequate public liability insurance.

We understand that Public Liability Insurance (PLI) may cost a significant amount, however the risks of not having PLI could cost your group much more.

Your community group/organisation will most likely interact with the public as part of running your activities or events. While it’s unlikely anything will go wrong, mishaps can occur, and a member of the public could be injured or property could be damaged.

PLI protects your group/organisation against the liability to pay damages for a bodily injury, death, or for property damage that occurs as a result of an activity you run.

It also covers the legal costs you would face if you had to defend a claim for bodily injury or property damage.

Because of the enormous potential costs your group could face if something went wrong and you didn’t have PLI, we only fund groups who manage the risk by having PLI.

Not-for-profit organisations may choose to access one off cover from Local Community Insurance Services and individual artists may choose to access insurance from Artsource.
