The Emergency Management (ACE) funding mechanism is issued by the Minister responsible for tertiary education. The funding mechanism outlines the general form and essential components of the fund. It provides the mandate for us to allocate the funding and what the funding can be used for, and details how we administer the fund.

A tertiary education organsiation (TEO) that receives Emergency Management (ACE) funding is required to:

• comply with the requirements of the Education Act 1989, and
• comply with the conditions specified in its funding confirmation letter.

Funding rate

Funding for Emergency Management (ACE) is set through the Government’s annual budget process.

Funding is agreed via a funding agreement. 

Emergency Management (ACE) allocations for 2021 have increased to accommodate a 1.6% increase in course funding rates.

We determine the amount of Emergency Management (ACE) funding for a TEO.

We pay funding for Emergency Management (ACE) provision in monthly instalments on the first banking day of each month.

Payment amounts are equal from January to June, and equal from July to December.
