Grants of up to $7,000 a year for one or two years are available to assist disability self help groups to run.
Disability self help groups provide valuable peer support for people with disability, and their families and carers. They boost social connection, mental health and wellbeing.
The grants assist with administrative costs, communications and activities that strengthen the group.
Applying for grants
We invite applications from all eligible groups. We are interested to hear from groups representing diverse communities and those in regional areas.
