Grant Opportunity: Support Engagement with People Not Accessing Health Care

Gippsland Primary Health Network is partnering with Monash Rural Health to learn more about the health needs of people who don’t access health care, even if they have health issues.

The feedback and engagement will inform the Gippsland PHN Health Needs Assessment.

Gippsland PHN is inviting not-for-profit organisations and community groups who operate in Bass Coast, South Gippsland, Latrobe, Baw Baw, Wellington and East Gippsland local government areas to apply for grants of $500 to help support recruitment of participants for the study.

Eligible not-for-profit organisations and community groups must be connected to people at risk of poor health outcomes who are not accessing health care.

Gippsland PHN is particularly interested in hearing from organisations and groups supporting people with multiple barriers for access, including people:

  • experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness
  • experiencing food insecurity (struggling to afford enough healthy food)
  • aged 16 to 25 years
  • experiencing other barriers for accessing healthcare, including a multicultural background, LGBTQIA+, violence, legal issues or other barrier/s

Participants that are identified by organisations and community groups will be invited to take part in a 30-45 minute guided conversation or a 60-90 minute group discussion with a researcher.

An anonymous survey option will also be made available.

They will also be offered a choice of a $50 supermarket voucher or a donation to a local charity, as acknowledgment and appreciation of involvement.

Expressions of Interest for the $500 grant can be submitted by completing this application form.
