How to apply

Applications can be completed online through the ATSE Elevate program portal. The portal is hosted by GoodGrants.

Alternative modes of submission

ATSE is committed to providing inclusive and equitable access to all potential applicants. If for any reason you are unable to submit written responses to the questions in this application form, ATSE will also accept alternative modes of submission. Applicants may prefer to create a video, either of themselves or from images or drawings that they compile. Applicants may also submit applications verbally via an interview with a member of the Elevate team. Applicants must still convey responses to questions as per the application form, as assessors are still required to score applications against a set of three key selection criteria.

To discuss your options for alternative modes of submission, contact ATSE via elevate@atse.org.au or call 02 6185 3240.
