Deadline: 8-Mar-23
Applications are now open for the Variety Individual Grants Program to provide assistance towards the purchase of mobility equipment, communication devices, essential medical and health equipment to support children that have a medically diagnosed chronic illness or disability.
Variety – the Children’s Charity helps children and their families with financial support for things like wheelchairs, specialist equipment and medical supplies, when they can’t afford it, and when government assistance isn’t available. Their work allows children to gain mobility and freedom, to get out and about in the community, to communicate, achieve independence and increase self-esteem, and where possible, assistance to help them integrate into mainstream school and activities.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applicants must live in Victoria
- Applicants must be aged between 0 to 17 years old
- Applicants must be medically diagnosed with a chronic illness or disability
- Previous recipients must wait until 18 months after the date listed on their successful outcome letter
- Variety Victoria recommends applicants consult their NDIS planner, GP, Specialist or Social/Support Worker before staring an application so they can best support them through the process.
