Indigenous Australians' Health Programme - Emerging Priorities Round

Overview

This grant opportunity enables organisations to submit proposals that respond to current health care needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Applications that more appropriately fit within other advertised or planned grant opportunities will not be accepted as part of this grant opportunity. Activities applied for under this round must align with one or more of the themes identified in Section 5.1 ‘Eligible Grant Activities’ of the Grant Opportunity Guidelines, and must be for activities that target improved health outcomes specifically and primarily for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander individuals or communities. The department encourages applications that outline evidence-based, innovative projects that will contribute to the outcomes of the Indigenous Australians’ Health Programme (IAHP). Three rounds of funding will be offered at six monthly intervals across 2019-20 and 2020-21. Timeframes for the rounds are detailed at Section 7.3 of the Grant Opportunity Guidelines. It is anticipated that most grants will be between $50,000 - $750,000 (GST exclusive) over the three years. Funding allocations will depend on the scope, demonstrated need, impact, complexity and potential reach of the proposed project.
