The Australian Government is investing $220 million over two years towards improving accessible, safe, and high-quality care. And they’ve just announced a new grant program that will make that goal a reality. Eligible providers can receive a one-off grant ranging from $25,000 to $50,000 to invest in innovative technologies, top-notch training, and other initiatives that will enhance care standards across the board. With this boost from the government, general practices can now take their services to new heights, providing even better care for all patients. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to advance your practice and take patient care to the next level.
GP Grants
Eligibility

How much funding is available under the program?
A one-off grant between $25,000 and $50,000 will be available to each participating general practice and eligible ACCHO.
