A new round of Victorian Government grants to support disability self-help groups is now open. Grants of up to $7,000 a year for up to two years are available to assist Victorian disability self-help groups to operate. These grants can help groups to meet some of the costs associated with providing social, emotional and practical support to their members.
Disability self-help groups play an important role in bringing people together to support each other.
Apply for funding
The grants can assist with administrative costs, communications and activities that strengthen the group.
This year groups can use funding in new ways, including:
- for activities that celebrate pride and recognition
- to pay for guest speakers.
All Victorian disability self-help groups are invited to apply. There is also a focus on groups that support:
- First Nations people
- autistic and neurodiverse people
- young people (aged 12-25)
- women and girls
- people from culturally diverse communities
- people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, gender diverse or intersex
- people in regional or rural Victoria.
