2025 Community Wellbeing Grants.

Our Community Wellbeing Grants program aims to support local groups who do amazing work to improve the wellbeing of the community.

Grant amounts between $500 and $2,500 are available to not-for-profit groups serving the community in our catchment area.

To be eligible for funding, organisations will need to demonstrate how a project will contribute to the mental and/or physical wellbeing of our community. Priority will be given to projects that positively impact one or more of our key focus areas:

Projects (including an event, a program or service) must demonstrate how they meet an identified need of the community or how they build skills or knowledge within the community in relation to the aims listed above.

All applications are assessed against eligibility criteria and evaluated on their community impact.

Organisations can only apply for one grant in a single round of funding.

More about eligibility

Conditions of funding

If you receive a grant, we may ask you to take part in some publicity, most likely when the funding has been used to purchase services or equipment.

At that time, we will release the name of your organisation. Please note we will not release the names of individuals without their permission, in line with our privacy policy.

Successful organisations need to provide feedback to show the grant has been spent appropriately. This evidence can be provided in many ways, which will be discussed in more detail if your application is successful, but might include a report, copies of receipts or photographs.

How to apply

Application assessment

A panel of judges from departments across our hospital assess each application against set criteria. The panel considers the aims of the project, the number of people who will benefit and the wider community benefits.
