Primary Care Impact Grants

Supporting Chronic and Complex Disease Management

Healthy North Coast is offering grants to support better care for chronic diseases, which are long-term conditions with lasting effects on individuals and communities. These diseases are a leading cause of disability and death in Australia, but nearly 40% of their burden could be prevented by addressing modifiable risk factors and improving disease management.

To support these efforts, Healthy North Coast’s Primary Care Impact Grants provide significant funding for local healthcare providers. These grants focus on two critical areas:

• Proactive prevention: Reducing the risk of chronic diseases through early intervention and health promotion.
• Team-based management: Empowering multidisciplinary care teams to deliver comprehensive, patient-centered support.

Multidisciplinary care brings together patients and health professionals from different specialties to address all aspects of a patient’s health. This flexible, collaborative approach adapts to the unique needs of each individual, ensuring high-quality, personalised care.

Healthy North Coast’s Chronic Disease Prevention Grants and Multidisciplinary Team Care Grants are designed to enhance prevention strategies and strengthen care teams, helping to reduce the prevalence and impact of chronic conditions in our community.

Selecting the right grant

Some programs may meet the criteria for both grant opportunities. However, grants will only be awarded from one program per applicant. Please apply for the grant that best aligns with your proposal.

There are two grants open to apply for:

• Chronic Disease Prevention program, read more about the grant.
• Multidisciplinary Team in Chronic disease management, read more about the grant.

During the evaluation process, if we believe your application may be better suited to a different grant program, we will communicate with you directly.
