We are excited to announce the new Healthy Tasmania Fund.

The Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing launched the new Healthy Tasmania Fund at the Tasmanian Health Literacy Forum on Wednesday, 28 September.

The Healthy Tasmania Fund is a grants program for health and wellbeing in Tasmania. We have made some changes to the Fund based on your feedback, evidence and local research.

The new-look Fund:

is easier to apply for
comes with support to help you apply and develop your ideas
brings people together to share what they are doing so we can learn as we go
is part of a broader, more coordinated funding approach to support communities.

The Fund has $8 million of funding over four years. There are now four grant streams:

Step Forward – grants up to $5 000 ($300 000 total)
Healthy Focus – grants from $20 000 to $100 000 ($4.72 million total)
Lift Local – grants of $20 000 for councils ($580 000 total)
Healthy Together – grants of $300 000 ($2.4 million total)

Find out more at the Department of Health website.

Healthy Tasmania hosted a Healthy Tasmania Fund Webinar in October. The webinar provides more information about the Healthy Tasmania Fund and funding available, with questions from attendees. The webinar is great way for you and your organisation to revisit the information available or if you missed our face-to-face Healthy Tasmania Fund Information and Networking Events.

There is also a short 3-minute animation that provides a great summary of the new Fund.
