Community Project Funding

Community Project Funding aims to provide local organisations and charities with the financial support they need to expand their reach and deepen their impact. If your organisation works in one of the priority areas, this is your chance to make a bigger difference.

All submissions must meet all three core criteria and address at least one of the priority funding areas listed below:

1. Impact - Genuine and clear impact shown to improve/support women’s mental health in Australia.

2. Reportability - The outcome achieved should be succinctly reported and easily communicated to the wider community.

3. Awareness & reach - The project has the potential to reach wider networks to promote the outcome achieved to bring further awareness around women’s mental health.

These priority areas were identified through our 2025 Women's Mental Health Research, highlighting critical opportunities to deliver meaningful change for these specific groups of women across Australia.

1. Women’s Physical Health Conditions

2. Women in Key Life Stages and Transitions
