Deadline: 14-Dec-22
The Department of Health (Tasmania) is seeking applications for the Healthy Focus Grants to protect, promote and maintain health and wellbeing.
Healthy Focus grants are for preventive health projects that address one or more of the focus areas of Healthy Tasmania. In some cases, your projects may address more than one of these focus areas, since they overlap. You don’t need to address all of the focus areas.
Preventive health is the term for activities that help protect, promote and maintain health and wellbeing. Equity is an important part of health and wellbeing. Equity is about giving all people a fair chance to reach their full potential, and making sure no one is disadvantaged by our efforts. This may include extra support to overcome barriers.
