Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) First Nations Growth Funding 2024-25

Overview

The CHSP First Nations Growth Funding 2024-25 grant opportunity (the grant opportunity) forms part of the extension of the CHSP that was announced as part of the May 2023 Federal Budget. The grant opportunity will run from 1 October 2024 to 30 June 2025. The grant opportunity is a targeted growth round with a $10 million investment of funding in the 2024-25 financial year, to increase the availability culturally safe CHSP aged care services for First Nations people by First Nations people where there is an unmet demand. The allocation of growth funding under this grant opportunity will target new Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs), who are not already delivering CHSP services, to increase the availability of culturally safe CHSP services where there is an unmet demand by older First Nations people. This grant opportunity seeks to attract new ACCO providers, currently delivering other similar services that are focused on supporting the care economy, including aged care (residential and/or Home Care Packages), the National Disability Insurance Scheme, and primary health. This supports cost effective service delivery across these programs where the pool of providers are from the same sector.
