Application process

YACWA is opening regional subsidy applications for attendees living more than 100km from the Esplanade Hotel Fremantle, to facilitate their attendance at FairGround 2025. 

The subsidy is intended to assist with the costs of travel and accommodation; it does not cover all expenses associated with the conference. A contribution towards accommodation and travel may also be required by the attendee or their organisation. 

Application for a travel subsidy is not a guarantee. Decisions will be made at the discretion of YACWA. Retrospective receipts (booked prior to outcomes being advised) will not be reimbursed. 

All successful regional subsidy applicants will receive a complimentary two-day ticket to FairGround including the Regional Breakfast. This ticket will not include add-ons such as the YEP Breakfast or additional networking events. 

Regional bursaries will be distributed based on the following criteria: 

• Need and level of impact on community 

• Region – priority to Kimberley, Pilbara, Great Southern and Goldfields/Esperance 

• Number of people allocated from that geographic area 

• Number of people allocated from that organisation

Applications open on 28 February 2025, and close on 28 March 2025. All applicants will be advised of the outcomes no later than 4pm Wednesday 2 April 2025.
