to participate in the research. Those who did choose to take part at a personally and professionally challenging time provided the project with deep and insightful data. Limited to no connectivity challenged the scope and limits of the research The lack of joined-up approaches to anti-racism work across and within governments impeded the capacity of the research team to fully identify and document federal, state, and local government programs and policies within the project scope. Limited publicly available information The data collected through the four desktop reviews (federal government, state government, local government and funded community sector initiatives) is limited by what governments make publicly available. Only federal grant program funding allocations were able to be mapped within the scope of this research due solely to the Australian Government Grant Connect website, a centralised information system. No similar system is available at the state level which meant similar data collection was not within project scope. Further, the number of local councils nationally prevented the research team from interrogating local government funding to the community sector, and the national peak body and those state/territory peaks the research team were able to interview were unable to provide any detailed information. 10
