If you submit your budget in New Zealand dollars (NZD), the Foundation will convert the total amount to Australian dollars (AUD) using the Reserve Bank of Australia’s reference exchange rate at the time the funding agreement is prepared. The grant will then be paid in AUD at that fixed amount, regardless of any future exchange rate changes.
The $10,000 salary support limit is the total amount that can be allocated to salaries from the grant. It applies to all staff whose time is being supported by the grant to carry out project work or to backfill their usual role. This includes research assistants, project officers or investigators.
