Health and Wellbeing Queensland has created a grants program to support initiatives that help to drive generational change and improve the health and wellbeing of Queenslanders.
The objectives of the Grants Program are to:
-
- grow and bolster state and national partnerships to advance health and wellbeing initiatives
- generate evidence-based and innovative ideas to improve the health and wellbeing of infants, children and young people, with a particular focus on addressing health inequities and obesity prevention and population-level impact
- leverage existing knowledge that has high potential to influence health and wellbeing promotion and/or practice, and lead to improved, sustainable and equitable health and wellbeing outcomes, and
- support initiatives and projects to address local needs and support health and wellbeing within the community.
Grant Outcomes
Through the GenQ Health and Wellbeing Grants, almost $800,000 in funding has been awarded to 27 initiatives across Queensland that propose to develop and implement innovative ideas to improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people.
Through the Discrete Communities Planning Funding, $1.413 million has been awarded to 19 Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander discrete communities to support the delivery of planning activities to increase physical activity and the capacity for healthy eating.
