Letter from a recognised government or community organisation

If you are applying to the Difficult family and life circumstances within your VTAC equity schemes and scholsrhips application, you have the option to provide a letter from a government or community organisation if your circumstances apply to any of:

• sexual assault
• homelessness
• family violence
• formal out-of-home care

You will be asked when applying whether your difficult circumstances relate to the above. If you answer yes, you have the option to provide a letter from a government or community organisation. If you provide this letter, you do not need to write an impact statement or supply a statement of support.

If you have experienced the circumstances above but are not working with a support worker at a government or community organisation, you can still apply for a scholarship but must write an impact statement and provide a supporting statement.

Recognised government and community organisations

Examples of these organisations are listed below. If you provide this letter, you do not need to write an impact statement or supply a statement of support.
