This program provides grants to meet the health and well-being needs of Aboriginal people across NSW in response to the impact of COVID-19.

 
The program aims to support:

• activities that limit the movement of Aboriginal people outside their homes and ensure this movement is COVID safe, to minimise the risk of transmission.
• the provision of trauma informed, culturally appropriate, local community based social and emotional well-being support for Aboriginal people impacted by COVID-19.
• Aboriginal people’s access to accurate and timely information regarding COVID-19 and its impacts.

Applications will be accepted at any time during the opening period and the assessment panel will meet weekly.

Applicants can apply more than once if a separate need has been identified.
