The Transformation Sustainability Scheme (TSS) provides funding to social service agencies for consultancy, digital projects, and project implementation support.

Previously funded through the Tech-and-GO! scheme, TSS offers up to 80% co-funding across three components — consultancy and headcount support, bespoke digitalisation projects, and pre-scoped solutions like HR systems, CRMs, and cybersecurity tools.
