Care Leavers, Stolen Generations and First Nations Forgotten Australians Aged Care Awareness and Education Campaign

Overview

This grant opportunity will provide up to $2,000,000.00 (GST exclusive) over four financial years from 2024-25 to 2027-28 across two funding streams to develop and deliver awareness and education campaigns about Care Leavers, Stolen Generations survivors and First Nations Forgotten Australians to aged care providers.  Stream 1 funding will seek to address the needs of Australian born non-indigenous Forgotten Australians and Former Child Migrants. This group will be referred to as Care Leavers.  Stream 2 will address Stolen Generations survivors and First Nations Forgotten Australians who were removed from their families and communities and placed in out of home care.  These activities are intended to increase the aged care sectors capacity to provide culturally safe, person-centred, trauma aware and healing informed aged care to Care Leavers, Stolen Generations survivors and First Nations Forgotten Australians who were removed from their families and communities as children and placed in out of home care.  The successful organisation/s will work with Care Leavers, Stolen Generation survivors and First Nations Forgotten Australians, representative bodies, experts in trauma informed practice, and the wider aged care sector to identify and address deficits in the provision of appropriate aged care for people with this lived experience. Successful organisation/s will be required to undertake an initial gap analysis and use findings to inform the development of campaigns so that they build upon and complement existing resources, frameworks, and networks. The grant will also support the development of new material to address identified awareness and education gaps. The development and design of any new material generated to meet the campaign objectives must be co-designed with relevant stakeholders.  To view the grant opportunity documents, please select the red "Grant Opportunity Documents" button on the left-hand side.
