Applications have opened for Australia Post’s 2024 Community Grants program, which funds community-led, local projects across Australia.
This year, grants of up to $10,000 will be given to support projects which have the primary purpose of improving mental health and wellbeing in local communities.
Australia Post community and stakeholder engagement general manager Nicky Tracey said mental health and wellbeing is on the top of their agenda.
“The wide range of organisations and projects that received grants last year demonstrated the need to support projects that help people connect to improve mental health and wellbeing,” she said.
“Each year there is a great diversity of mental health support projects across our Community Grants applications From groups that keep elderly Australians connected, to supporting workers with mental health first aid training and even surf therapy, we encourage applications from all local communities.”
“We know that when we connect, we feel better, which is why projects supported by Australia Post share a common thread and a commitment to improving mental health and wellbeing through the power of connection.”
Organisations interested in applying are encouraged to review the Community Grant guidelines carefully to check eligibility requirements, with eligible community organisations able to apply until 11.59pm on July 1.
