The NSW Government has launched the Carers Investment Grant Program to fund initiatives aimed at developing, piloting, and implementing ongoing training and education programs for service providers. The goal is to help them better identify and connect with unidentified carers and provide them with information on accessing support.
Service providers and professionals – particularly GPs, psychiatrists, hospitals, neurologists, medical and mental health staff, allied health workers, dentists, teachers and principals, and government agency staff that carers come into contact are welcome to apply.
To assess eligibility, there is a two-stage application process:
Stage 1 – Expression of Interest (EOI), opening 12 August 2024: Applicants complete an EOI to demonstrate that they meet the eligibility criteria.
Stage 2 – Application, opening 21 October 2024: Applicants whose EOI is assessed as eligible will be invited to submit a full application. This application will be assessed by a panel against assessment criteria.
