The Health & Disability program area supports programs aimed at improving outcomes for people living with disability and/or illness. The Foundation prioritises funding for innovative programs that enhance the lives of people with disability or chronic illness and/or promote the health of the community. Applications for this program area are considered once a year by the Board of Governors.
FUNDING OBJECTIVES
The Foundation will favourably consider proposals that aim to:
- Enhance the lives of individuals with disability or chronic illness, particularly through innovative approaches to health service delivery;
- Promote research and development in public health and preventative medicine initiatives aimed at improving the health of the Australian community.
EXCLUSIONS
The Foundation will not normally support requests for funds for:
- salaries of health personnel, research assistants, small items of equipment, or programs which are usually substantially funded by government or major public health organisations
- equipment and services which should properly be provided for in the usual operation of the hospital or health facility.
You should also note that: within our grant making to Indigenous projects the Foundation is concentrating on major programs with the potential to make a significant difference. Small one off projects are not within the Foundation's current ambit.
