CCT operator-led deployment

CCT funding for Indigenous community-controlled organisations in Alice Springs and remote NT

Path B routes capital from a Community Charity Trust through an Asset Deployment Vehicle (ADV) which procures equipment and transfers it under CADA to a non-DGR delivery partner. For remote NT community-controlled organisations, this is the structural unlock — capital reaches the partner without forcing them to register as DGR. Asset transfers between ADV and partner are GST-free under s 38-250.

The instrument

Community Charity Trust operator-led deployment (Path B)

CCT funds an Asset Deployment Vehicle (ADV) which procures and transfers assets to a non-DGR delivery partner under CADA. Asset transfers GST-free under s 38-250.

How it cycles
Step 1
CCT funds ADV
Community Charity Trust funds an Asset Deployment Vehicle which holds the asset.
Step 2
ADV deploys via CADA
The ADV transfers the asset to the non-DGR delivery partner under a Charitable Asset Deployment Agreement. GST-free under s 38-250.
Step 3
Recovery to CCT
Voluntary contribution recovers principal back to the CCT corpus, ready for next deployment.
Why this audience

Why Indigenous community organisations carry this structural problem

Traditional grants flow through DGR-only channels; many community-controlled orgs are non-DGR by design and are blocked from the standard funder set.

DGR profile: Most Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisations are non-DGR — the CCT pathway is the structural fix.
