Applications open at 9 am on Monday 26 August 2024 and close at 4 pm on Monday 23 September 2024.

What is the funding for? 

Grants are for projects that support health and wellbeing. Grants could be used for a wide range of activities like providing training to upskill people in your community or organisation, designing/printing posters for a health promotion campaign, or for equipment to run a community group or activity.

The focus is on activities that keep people healthy and well, by preventing rather than treating illness.

Individuals or community groups can apply if they are sponsored by an incorporated not-for-profit organisation or local government.

Updated Step Forward grant guidelines will be available on our website soon.

Grants are for developing or testing new programs or expanding existing programs.
