All projects funded in full or part by the initiative must acknowledge Caring for our Country in all promotional activities, including but not limited to:
- Events and announcements: national, state and local (at all project stages/phases)
- Media releases, media activities including newspaper and radio interviews
- Public relations activities including workshops, forums and conferences
- Display materials such as banners, posters and on-ground project signs
- Publications such as reports, books, case studies, information kits and fact sheets
- Websites including all regional web home pages.
Acknowledgement of Funding Partners
Caring for our Country should be referred to in text in media releases, speeches, display materials, publications and other materials as follows:
- This project is supported by [project proponent's name], through funding from the Australian Government's Caring for our Country.
If there has been more than one funding body, the following wording should be used:
- This project is supported by [project proponent's name], through funding from the Australian Government's Caring for our Country and [other funding body's name].
If the project proponent has also provided funding, the following wording should be used:
- This project is partially funded through [organisation name] and the Australian Government's Caring for our Country.
Note: Where possible 'Caring for our Country' should stand alone but the word 'initiative', 'package' or 'funding package' may be added for clarification. The first reference must be in full - 'the Caring for our Country initiative' - and can be shortened in subsequent references to 'the initiative'. Do not use 'program'.
Logos
All display materials, publications, websites and where possible media releases should also include the Caring for our Country logo.
The acknowledgment text above must be included whenever the logo is used.
