Funding
Each year we provide up to $2 million in funding to partnerships that share our vision for all people to live longer in better health.
Better Health Partners
In 2025 we commenced new partnerships with four peak bodies working to prevent the major chronic health conditions faced by Australians including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and mental health. Funding for this program is fully allocated.
Our Better Health Partners are health leaders in their field and advocate to improve health equity to help all people to stay healthy, recover well and prevent further illness.
Partners for Health Equity
The opportunity for good health is not equal. Some people face more barriers to finding the help they need. We have a special interest in reducing barriers, increasing access to culturally safe health care and improving health outcomes for:
First Nations peoples
People living with disability
People living in regional and remote areas
People from culturally diverse backgrounds
We are currently developing these partnerships through targeted invitations and look forward to sharing more detail soon.
Promoting prevention through our Prevention Partners
Our Prevention Partners funding program closed in 2024. We are very proud of the innovative digital health solutions and programs our Prevention Partners have developed over the last eight years which continue to empower people to take small steps to reduce preventable and lifestyle risks for chronic disease.
Enabling equality through our Aboriginal Health Partnerships funding
Working with community-controlled organisations from 2020-2024, this funding strengthened our commitment to helping close the gap in health and life expectancy outcomes experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, with a focus on youth social and emotional wellbeing.
While this funding program has now closed, we are pleased to continue to our support through the Partners for Health Equity program.
