FASSTT is supported through funding from the Commonwealth Department of Health under the Program of Assistance to Survivors of Torture and Trauma (PASTT). PASTT contributes to the provision of longer-term interventions for survivors of torture and trauma with complex needs.
In addition, PASTT funding is used by FASSTT agencies, in conjunction with funding from other sources, to support a range of activities such as training of health service providers, secondary consultations, community development and service infrastructure – including the FASSTT national network.
Most FASSTT member agencies also receive funding from other Commonwealth government departments, state, territory and local governments, philanthropic trusts, businesses, individuals and fundraising activities.
