VicHealth Partnership Grants

Organisations that are passionate about achieving better health and wellbeing outcomes in Victoria are encouraged to get involved.

We invite all kinds of organisations to consider how they might access VicHealth Partnership Grants through innovative partnerships with organisations who qualify as official funding recipients. By the same token we invite organisations who qualify as funding recipients – including local councils, research institutions or community sporting clubs – to think outside the box and consider who they could partner with to deliver the best possible outcomes for Victorians.

VicHealth is committed to health equity, that is, enabling all Victorians to have the means to a good and healthy life, regardless of cultural background, gender, sexual orientation, disability, income, educational attainment, occupation or location. Grant applications that apply a health equity lens will be considered favourably.

VicHealth encourages diverse organisations, including those who work with disability communities, LGBTIQ communities, culturally and linguistically diverse communities and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, to investigate the grants on offer and think laterally about forging funding partnerships with eligible organisations.

For details of assessment criteria, please see Partnership Grant Funding Guidelines and information sheets linked within.

VicHealth Partnership Grant applications will go through a multi-stage assessment process involving VicHealth and external content experts. This will take place in March-April 2020, with all applicants to be notified of the outcomes by 30 April 2020.

Briefings for VicHealth Partnership Grants will be conducted via webinar in late November and will be made available to view throughout the entire application period.
