2023-24 Budget invests in new PADs

The 2023-24 Victorian Budget announced funding for two new PADs programs as part of the Maximising outcomes through social investments initiative, (Budget Paper 3 pages 108-109).

This initiative will also:

  • provide for an annual Early Intervention and Social Impact Summit that will foster collaboration and shared learnings
  • improve guidance, and information to reduce barriers for future social investment
  • invest in grants to support program evaluations and streamline data collection and reporting
  • encourage greater public sharing of data insights on client pathways from linked data.

This initiative responds to stakeholder feedback received through the public consultation on the future direction of PADs, as outlined below.
