What do we mean by growth funding?
We use growth funding to respond to the evolving needs of CHSP clients as Australia’s population grows. We allocate it based on priority geographical areas and service types.
Growth funding helps service providers:
- expand entry-level aged care services for senior Australians
- meet demonstrated needs and identified gaps in service delivery
Why is growth funding important?
Growth funding targets specific:
- CHSP service types
- priority Aged Care Planning Regions (ACPRs) across Australia
- services where demand is greater than supply
How we advertise grants
We will list grant opportunities on GrantConnect when they open. If you want GrantConnect to notify you about future CHSP funding opportunities:

After we have notified successful applicants, we provide generic feedback on how all applicants can strengthen future applications.
